Mama Rosin & Hipbone Slim – louisiana sun 2011

Swiss Cajun and Zydeco enthusiasts, Mama Rosin, team up with London rockabilly veterans Hipbone Slim and the Knee Tremblers for a cheerful European treatment of classic Americana styles. Mama Rosin have always treated the dance music of the southern states with a rough- and-ready punk approach, mixing rock influences with styles that have their origins in the era of French colonialism and slavery in Louisiana. The Hipbone Slim trio have much the same garage-band attitude. The two bands fuse easily together here, the result is a set that constantly switches styles, from cajun and swamp blues to rockabilly. They’ll sound even better live.

Album Notes
One evening toward the end of summer, I crossed the street and barely got into the Whatevski PO Box before they shut the front door for the night. I keyed open the mail door with scattered interest and next thing I was unjamming a little box from the opening. Inside the little container were two identical CDs well marked “Vic Stuff.” I won’t spoil any more surprises, so just get this soon to be classic now.
