La Chanson Perdue
''La Chanson Perdue'' is an album by the American musician Geno Delafose, released in 1998. He is credited with his band, French Rockin' Boogie. Delafose considered the album to be a combination of Creole zydeco and Cajun music; however, the title of the album ("The Lost Song") in part refers to the popularity of zydeco overtaking traditional Creole music. Delafose supported the album with a North American tour. Production Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, the album was produced by Scott Billington. Delafose switched between piano accordion and diatonic button accordion. Most of the songs are sung in French. Christine Balfa played acoustic guitar on several songs; Dirk Powell played fiddle. Critical reception ''The Province'' deemed the album "edgy and raw with all the moonshine-fuelled fire of a jam session at a back-porch crawfish boil." The ''Orlando Sentinel'' noted that "Delafose is not a commanding singer, but his simple, unadorned vocals are full of the restrain ...

He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it, he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
