Bruce Daigrepont – Jamais De La Vie

"Jamais De La Vie,” the title of this recording, is a common Cajun saying used to express disbelief at something that has happened.  It  translates into “Never in Life”.  In this case, I am surprised to haved made such a simple recording with nothing more than my accordion and voice.accordion and voice. It was recorded live with no overdubs and in, of all places, Copenhagen, Denmark" Bruce Daigrepont

"..He maintains his reputation as one of Cajun music’s most prolific storytelling songsmiths with eight new originals. Undoubtedly they’ll touch the cockles of the Cajun heart with culturally-rooted topics ranging from family memories and avoiding marriage to lighter fare, such as horse racing, dapper elderly bachelors and Cajun music festivals where heart healthy food (hot boudin and cold beer) is readily available. Give it a few spins and it begins to feel quite intimate, as if the listener were treated to an afternoon of hanging out with Daigrepont while he plays his accordion and converses between songs".  Offbeat Magazine
