Down Home Cajun Music- Miller's Merrymakers

While 1935 saw the rise of Cajun string bands recording, it wasn't until 1936 when one of the finer groups recorded. The Miller's Merrymakers were a string band led by Beethoven Miller, fiddler Jean Baptiste Fuselier and guitarist Preston Manuel. The group only had two sessions; one in 1936 and one in 1937. Beethoven left the band after their last session and JB took over the group. But their two sessions provide plenty of essential listening.
