Jimmy C Newman & Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke Kings of Cajun 2 CD Set 2003 Fuel 2000

A 38-track, two-CD collection pairing two prominent Louisiana performers, Jimmy C. Newman and Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke. Disc One presents Newman's The Happy Cajun, mixing Cajun material with his country background on songs such as “Alligator Man,” “Big Mamou,” “Louisiana Man,” “Jambalaya (On the Bayou),” “The Happy Cajun,” and “Sugar Bee.” Disc Two presents Burke's Cajun Memories, emphasizing his energetic fiddle-driven approach through favorites such as “Let's Go to Big Mamou,” “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” “Orange Blossom Special,” “Cajun Memories,” and “Old Joe Clark.” The 2003 Fuel 2000 set was released in cooperation with Varèse Sarabande and runs approximately 1 hour and 36 minutes.

The pairing provides a broad sampling of Cajun music's overlap with traditional country, string-band music, dance tunes, fiddle standards, and Louisiana roots music. Newman brings a strong country-meets-Cajun approach, while Burke's disc leans heavily into fiery fiddle repertoire and dance-hall material. The two albums are presented together as a digitally remastered 2-CD set, making this a substantial collection for fans of Cajun, Louisiana music, traditional country, fiddle music, and American roots recordings.
