In the world of pop music, time changes everything, and last year's sensation is this year's has-been. In the less fickle environs of American roots music, artists like the Hackberry Ramblers--who'd been together for over 60 years by the time of this recording--exist to show the value of hard-earned experience. Playing a raw, energetic combination of Cajun music, country and even rock & roll (guitarist Glen Croker was an early proponent of electric guitar), the Ramblers display all the verve and enthusiasm of musicians half their age. Guests like Rodney Crowell and Beausoleil fiddler Michael Doucet drop by, but the Ramblers need no help to establish themselves as a vital and distinctive part of America's rich musical history.

Recorded at La Louisianne Studio, Layfayette, Louisiana; Lake Charles Music, Lake Charles, Louisiana; MasterTrack Studio, Crowley, Louisiana; Enactron Truck, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by Barry Jean Ancelet.

The Hackberry Ramblers: Glen Croker, Johnny Farque (vocals, guitar); Edwin Duhon (vocals, electric guitar, accordion); Luderin Darbone (vocals, fiddle); Johnny Faulk (acoustic bass, background vocals); Ben Sandmel (drums).
