Part One: Bad Boys and Good Men
Released in 2015
“If the three forthcoming volumes of this set are like the first, this magnificent body of songs will continue to thrive.”
- Alex V. Cook, Country Roads Magazine
Bad Boys and Good Men is the first EP of Valcour’s ten-year anniversary project, I Wanna Sing Right: Rediscovering Lomax in the Evangeline Country. Produced by Joel Savoy and Joshua Caffery, I Wanna Sing Right is a limited edition set of four EPs that capture some of South Louisiana’s most talented artists performing fresh takes on a series of folk songs—both French and English—archived in Louisiana in 1934 by the late Alan and John Lomax.
We will release one EP each quarter during 2015 and the full set can be purchased now with a commemorative box and printed liners. Or, each EP can be purchased individually as they are released.
