Various - I Wanna Sing Right Rediscovering Lomax In The Evangeline Country Part One Bad Boys And Good Men
Review by Gabriella Deveraux
The album "I Wanna Sing Right Rediscovering Lomax In The Evangeline Country Part One Bad Boys And Good Men" by Various is a tribute to the legendary folklorist Alan Lomax and his work in documenting the music of the American South. The album features a diverse range of artists, including Cajun and Creole musicians, bluesmen, and gospel singers, all performing songs that Lomax collected during his travels in Louisiana.
The album opens with a rousing rendition of "Jolie Blonde" by the Pine Leaf Boys, a band from Lafayette, Louisiana. The song is a Cajun classic, and the Pine Leaf Boys give it a lively and infectious treatment that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "My Creole Belle" by Cedric Watson, a Creole fiddler and singer who brings a soulful intensity to the song, and "Keep Your Hands Off Her" by Lil' Buck Sinegal, a blues guitarist and singer who delivers a raw and gritty performance.
The album also features several gospel songs, including "I'm Gonna Live So God Can Use Me" by the Zion Harmonizers and "I'm Going Home" by the Como Mamas. These songs showcase the rich tradition of African-American gospel music in Louisiana and demonstrate the power of music to uplift and inspire.
