La Chanson Perdue

La Chanson Perdue is an album by the American musician Geno Delafose, released in 1998.

[12][13] The Province deemed the album "edgy and raw with all the moonshine-fuelled fire of a jam session at a back-porch crawfish boil.

"[17] The Orlando Sentinel noted that "Delafose is not a commanding singer, but his simple, unadorned vocals are full of the restrained longing that infuses the old Cajun and Creole tunes.

"[15] The Baltimore Sun wrote that, "in Creole and Cajun French, accordionist Delafose pines away for lost love, launches lilting waltzes and kicks back with an irresistible dance beat.

"[14] The Wall Street Journal determined that Delafose, "perhaps zydeco's ultimate neo-traditionalist, borrows heavily from the Cajun repertoire and forges a distinctive approach that is at once rhythmic and romantic.
