About "Si Dur D'Etre Seul" by Amédé Ardoin
Amédé Ardoin's 'Si Dur D'Etre Seul' is a raw, accordion-driven cry from the heart of Cajun blues. Recorded in the 1930s, its French lyrics ache with isolation, while the fiddle and accordion intertwine like two lonely souls. A foundational text of American roots music.
