Donald Thibodeaux, fine accordionist and singer, leads "Cajun Fever" which supplies the music at Fred's Lounge in Mamou, LA every Saturday morning for a weekly radio broadcast and festivities! This unusual, older style Cajun band, stresses ensemble playing much like a jazz band. Their sound harkens back to the 1950s, the honky tonk sound made for dancing. Along with the solid accordion of its leader, "Cajun Fever" features Phillip Alleman - who is a Cajun legend and recorded with Aldous Roger for 23 years following in the footsteps of Rodney Miller - on steel guitar and vocals. Allen M. Ardoin is on fiddle, John H. Dies on drums, and Ernest Thibodeaux on guitar. Released in 2000, 14 tracks, including:
