ZerxCatalog-Bayou Seco

#027 - Bayou Seco - THE LITTLE PLEASURES OF LIFE
Fiddles, accordeons, rubboards, harmony vocals, Cajun two-steps, sea shanties, murder ballads, moonlighting chotis, trail songs, processionals, Tohono O’odham melodies, Appalachian waltzes....I get the same feeling listening to Bayou Seco as I do when I’m at a pueblo ceremonial. That of witnessing something that is alive but goes all the way back 50,000 years ago.

#036 - Bayou Seco - HOME ON THE GREAT DIVIDE
Yeh, but can they yodel ? Can they Tuva throat sing ? Can they sing without microphones ? DO they sing in the car ? DO they sing on the big airplane on their way to Yurp? Yes, yes, yes, sometimes, and probably yes. And if they ain’t singing then Ken’s doing a buck & wing and Jeanie’s cooking up some gumbo. This is the road trio with the mysterious M., virtuoso of the cardboard box (fiddle & guitar, too).

#051 - Bayou Seco - 20 YEARS HAPPY IN THE BEWILDERNESS
I tried to convince Ken & Jeanie to call this BAYOU SECO STRANDED AT DRY GULCH but they declined on the grounds that it may incriminate them. Nevertheless, this is one smoking gun of a CD, compiled from across all those years of tapes and television appearances and CIA files and general mayhem that points a guilty finger on the fact that Bayou Seco is THE best band in New Mexico. Bar none.
