Louisiana Folk Masters: Varise Conner
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 featuring a booklet with liner notes by Michael Doucet, David Greely, Carl Brasseaux, and Barry Jean Ancelet, we now have an opportunity to hear the 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. More information about the Barry Jean Ancelet collection at the Center for Louisiana Studies, where these recordings (and many others) can be found by clicking here.
