Music Jam 10-18-09 “Jambalaya” Cover [Hank Williams, Sr.]

Yet another part of our jam [I have lots more to come]. Now I have the mic & am proceeding to sing the classic Hank Williams Song “Jambalaya”. A real favorite amongst jam sessions due to it’s simple 2 chord progression [C & G in this case].

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
“Jambalaya (On the Bayou)” is a song credited to American country music singer Hank Williams that was first released in 1952. Named for a Creole and Cajun dish, jambalaya, it spawned numerous cover versions and has since achieved popularity in a number of music genres.

With a melody based on the Cajun song “Grand Texas”, some sources, including Allmusic, claim that the song was co-written by Williams and Moon Mullican, with Mullican uncredited but receiving ongoing royalties. Other sources claim that this was one of several songs which Williams purchased from other writers; a practice that was relatively common at the time.

Released in 1952, crediting Williams as the sole author, it was performed by Williams as a country song. It reached number one on the U.S. country charts for fourteen non consecutive weeks. “Jambalaya” remains one of Hank Williams most popular songs today.

Since the original melody of the song was from a Cajun French song called “Grand Texas”, the song is a staple of Cajun Culture. Although Williams changed the lyrics, he kept a Louisiana theme. In addition, Cajuns readily identified with the soulful sound of Williams. After Williams released his version, Cajuns recorded the song again using Cajun instruments. However, this time they used Williams’ lyrics translated into the Cajun French language. Over the past few decades, the Cajun French version has been performed by many Cajun bands including Aldus Roger and Jo-El Sonnier.

Fiddlers Armpit: Don´t Think Twice It´s Alright

After leaving London and the “Virginia Vagabonds” (see utube) I returned to Carlisle and went to College. I teamed up with 2 other musicians to perform folk music with a difference and called ourselves “The Fiddlers Armpit”. With 3 in the band we had a different sound due to the amount of instruments we carried on stage, about 3-4 to each person. We did not achieve much in the way of success but had a great time playing and getting close to the natural way of life! I could explore my Northumbrian Pipe playing as well as playing mandolin and guitar, playing folk music that was close to my heart, doing benefit gigs for “Friends of the Earth” and Cajun Festivals; a lot of camping out and jamming with other musicians next to Stone Circles and in peoples houses. Here is 1 song originally by Bob Dylan. Only 1 photo exists but it says it all : sitting underneath the stars next to a camp fire playing music into the night.
