Album Description
This rollicking disc captures the adventurous spirit of the Grammy-winning "World's Greatest Cajun Band" performing high-energy two-steps, blues, reels and zydeco from across their expansive repertoire in celebration of their 30th anniversary. Tracked in 2006 in the heart of Cajun and Creole country, "Live in Louisiana" features first-ever live versions of a dozen songs from across the 10-time Grammy nominees' storied career.

From the Artist
"We played these songs before live audiences," notes fiddler and bandleader Michael Doucet, "and this project is dedicated to all of us who live in Louisiana." The CD package features an evocative painting of a live oak by noted Louisiana artist Elemore Morgan, Jr. "Live oaks live for hundreds of years," Doucet adds, "and their branches open to embrace the winds of change. Like live oaks, Cajun and Creole culture have endured and survived as sources of strength in times of adversity."
