Louisiana Folk Masters: Varise Conner CD

Varise Conner (1906-1994) has been called the “greatest unrecorded Cajun musician.” With this ground-breaking 72-minute collection of previously unavailable songs and stories we now have an opportunity to hear masterful renditions of waltzes, two-steps, blues, a mazurka, a polka and even “Lake Arthur Stomp” as performed by its originator in his own home. The source recordings for this project were made between 1975 and 1977.

Lots of folks ask for copies of our live broadcasts and performances, so we put together a TEMPORARILY SOLD-OUT collection of 13 great performances from 11 very special shows on “Louisiana Crossroads Live, Vol. 1,” our first release on Louisiana Crossroads Records. Please fret not, though: Vol. 2 will be ready in time for holiday gift-giving!

Our second disc, “Louisiana Folk Masters: Varise Conner,” brings together 72-minutes of pristine home recordings of the influential Cajun fiddle master in a deluxe package with a 28-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes and beautiful archival portraits.
