It's always disheartening when a great album slides by without receiving much attention. That's exactly what

happened with this little-known CD by the band Mamou, which specialized in a risk-taking blend of Cajun music

and rock. This adventurous, exuberant foursome (which writes in both French and English) doesn't hesitate to

draw on a variety of rock styles. While "Between the Lines" has a blues-rock appeal that wouldn't be out of place

on a ZZ Top album, Mamou brings a healthy amount of punk rock influence to "Bayou Teche," "Les Flammes

D'En Fer" and "Un Homme De Pitie," as well as the traditional "Jolie Blonde" (a song that anyone who's into

Louisiana music has heard at some point). This out-of-print album (which was recorded in Austin, TX.) is

hard to find and definitely worth obtaining.
