{"product_id":"grand-isle-884501455169","title":"Grand Isle","description":"Absorb, conquer, and rock. Louisiana's Francophone communities have faced down exile and persecution, natural and manmade disaster, by remaining resolutely creative. Steve Riley \u0026amp; the Mamou Playboys know this creativity intimately; what fiddler and co-leader David Greely eloquently calls \"survivor joy.\" It has echoed for centuries in everything from aching solo ballads to swamp pop blasts and funkified two-steps. Their latest album, Grand Isle (self-release; February 22, 2011) calls on this joy and shows it's defiant, resilient forms in all their glory, with help from producer, friend, and swamp-n-roll legend CC Adcock. They toss aside roots-music formulas to channel the energy of an entire community of multi-ethnic, hard-hitting eccentrics and activists, from a mad musical inventor of New Orleans to a pensive professor-lyricist, from a vintage recording guru to a bold local staging an oil spill photo exhibit in her dining room.","brand":"Valcour Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50530506768467,"sku":"SRD145516","price":11.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/1805490.jpg?v=1791873288","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/grand-isle-884501455169","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
