Michael Doucet talks Cajun fiddle with Chris Haigh
Cajun fiddler Michael Doucet, from Beausoleil, talks to Chris Haigh at The Fiddle Channel. We talk about Michael Doucet's career, the history of Cajun music, the effect of the accordion on the cajun fiddle style, the Cajun shuffle, fiddle singing, and much more besides. Cajun is one of the styles discussed in my forthcoming book "Exploring Country and Bluegrass Fiddle", due to be published in October 2021.

I have been using this for at least 20 years and have found it an invaluable tool. Recently they have greatly expanded the "Real Instruments", which enables me to reproduce, for example, the authentic Honky Tonk band sound here, or others such as Gypsy Jazz quintet, bluegrass band, Western Swing, Delta blues, and hundreds of other niche styles. It comes for Mac or PC, and in lots of different sizes and versions.Check it out with the links below!
