"Nathan Abshire is a legend as far as I am conerded. Here is a collection of great old Cajun tunes. Some are quite old and therefore the quality is poor, but this is history in Cajun music. It is well worth it."
Classic Cajun Accordian

"Nathan Abshire was one of the finest Cajun musicians to emerge in the years following World War II. Deeply influenced by the Creole musician Amede Ardoin, Abshire's best recordings are in the blues idiom. His "Pine Grove Blues" has receached the classic status. This collection brings together recordings from the 1950s at the height of the Cajun accordian revivial. This is dancehall music, brash and beautiful, and almost defiantly Cajun. Required for Cajun collections and a good introduction to the artist."
