Nathan Abshire helped bring the blues and honky tonk to Cajun music and repopularized the accordion with his recordings during the 1950s and '60s, but still never managed to make a living from his music.
NATHAN ABSHIRE (June 27, 1913 – May 13, 1981) was an American Cajun accordion player who, along with Iry LeJeune, was responsible for the renaissance of the accordion in Cajun music in the 1940s. Learning the accordion at age six, he was influenced by his father, mother, and uncle all playing the accordion.
Mr. Nathan, who died in 1981, was one of the giants of the Cajun accordion. He is here in great company (mostly the Balfa Brothers) playing 20 of his great numbers. Hearing “Pine Grove Blues”, “Fee Fee Poncho”, and “Valse de Bayou Teche” are worth the purchase price alone.
