(2008/VALCOUR) 15 tracks (51:34) ecopac. This Album Is The Story Of a Historical Louisiana Musician In The Making. Cedric Watson Returned To His Roots In Louisiana After Growing Up In Sealy, Texas So He Could Develop His Creole Music In The Towns And Pastures Where His Predecessors Once Played. In This Debut, Grammy-Nominated Solo Release, Cedric Channels The Talents Of His Influences, Such As Bois Sec Ardoin And Canray Fontenot But Proves His Chops As A Writer And Composer With The Majority Of The Songs On The Album Either His Own Creations And/Or Arrangements. Being Well-Versed In The History Of The Music He Plays, Cedric Creates Music With Strong Creole Roots, And Branches Out Appropriately And Deliberately Into Cajun And Zydeco Sounds. As A Result, There Are Tracks On This Album That Are Instant Classics, And Others That Are Refreshingly New And Different.
