Here is a song from Jimmy C.Newman about the cajun boudin (boo-dahn).Traditionally, boudin is a sausage stuffed with pork and rice. Recently, shrimp, crawfish, and alligator have been added to the list of meats used. Jimmy C. Newman was born and raised in true Cajun style just outside Big Mamou, Louisiana. However, it wasn't Cajun music but the cowboy music of boyhood hero Gene Autry that got him started singing with bands, traveling through the South and Southwest. Soon, he was host of his own radio show in Lake Charles, Louisiana. That led to membership on the famous Louisiana Hayride radio showcase, to a TV show in Shreveport and to a Dot Records recording contract. In 1954, Jimmy C. had his first country hit ? the plaintive "Cry, Cry Darling," which he co-wrote. He followed that with the hits "Daydreamin'" and "Blue Darlin'" and won Opry membership in 1956. In 1957, he had his biggest country hit with "A Fallen Star," which also crossed over to the pop charts. Then it was time for Jimmy C. to get back to his Cajun roots.

Along the way, he became the only Cajun artist ever to receive a gold record on a Cajun French song. The tune, "Lache Pas La Potate," earned gold status in Canada in 1976. Jimmy C. and his band?known for their skilled, high-energy performances?have enjoyed success in Europe since their first appearance in London, England, at the famous .... + Informações
