	Hackberry Ramblers - Biography - AOL Music
		The most important Cajun band of the 1930s, the Hackberry Ramblers -- also known as the Riverside Ramblers -- were formed in 1933 by fiddler Luderin Darbone (born January 14, 1913, Evangeline, LA).
		The Ramblers soon became the best-known band around the area, and they began recording for RCA Bluebird in 1935 with a lineup including Darbone, vocalist Lennis Sonnier, guitarists Glenn Croker, Lonnie Rainwater, Floyd Shreve, and Joe Werner, bassist Johnnie Parket, and occasional accordion player Edwin Duhon.
		The initial sides were recorded in French, but a partnership with Montgomery Ward to perform on KVOL Lafayette prompted the Ramblers to record in English as the Riverside Ramblers -- after Ward's brand of tires.

	The Hackberry Ramblers - Deep Water
		That’s when The Hackberry Ramblers were brought together by fiddler Luderin Darbone and accordionist Edwin Duhon, the spry duo that still leads the band today.

		The first time Ben Sandmel saw the Hackberry Ramblers was on a music stage at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition.
		Sandmel's journey with the Ramblers -- a "labor of love would not be an understatement," he says -- is a leitmotif in John Whitehead's grand documentary, Make 'Em Dance: The Hackberry Ramblers' Story, which debuts Jan. 13 on PBS stations nationwide as part of the Independent Lens series.
		The film chronicles the history of the band, setting the Ramblers' earliest recordings to historic fl-and-white imagery of oil fields in south Louisiana, intercut with contemporary scenes of lush pastures and dreary industrial vistas of Lake Charles.

	The Hackberry Ramblers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Ramblers have been plying their brand of Cajun country music since 1933, at dances and parties in southwestern Louisiana -- and even recording for Bluebird.
		They're played (usually on guitar, fiddle, or accordion) with the slow-paced intensity and love of detail that was the hallmark of great pre-rock-era country soloists.
		And the Ramblers perform Cajun classics, traditional folk numbers, country swing, and "Proud Mary" with the pride and dignity of the wizened old oak that produced all the acorns that sprouted the forest at its feet.

		In Hackberry, Louisiana, Luderin Darbone, a fiddler and Texas-swing fan, lived across the street from Edwin Duhon, a guitarist and Cajun diehard.
		In 1933, they combined their enthusiasms in the Hackberry Ramblers, an accordionless ensemble which lent a string band feel to Cajun music.
		Ultimately, though, the recording is dominated by the Hackberries themselves, who may no longer have the control of intonation and phrasing they once did but who still understand the "feel" of Louisiana music far better than dozens of earnest, younger Cajun revivalists.

	Independent Lens . MAKE ’EM DANCE: The Hackberry Ramblers’ Story . The Music \| PBS
		Since the 1930s, The Hackberry Ramblers have played a rollicking blend of Cajun music, Western swing and classic country with a touch of blues, rock and Gulf Coast swamp pop.
		Cajun music, and the Creole music that later evolved into Zydeco, are the elements of the Ramblers’ style that are unique to Southwest Louisiana, drawing on broader traditions such as African-American blues, Anglo-American fiddle tunes and ballads and the African-European synthesis that produced jazz.
		The Ramblers were the first band in southwest Louisiana to blend Cajun music, sung in French, with old-time string band music and a wide variety of popular styles disseminated by the then-new medium of radio.

		The Hackberry Ramblers, a group that formed in 1933, may be the oldest band in America.
		The Ramblers are not the most polished band in the recording studio.
		Although Sandmel is an unabashed fan of Cajun and zydeco music, it is the Ramblers’ ability to sweeten that tradition with the Western swing music of Texas’ Bob Willis that captivates the young drummer.

	Hackberry Ramblers
		No doubt the oldest existing Cajun music group, the Hackberry Ramblers were founded in 1930 by fiddler Luderin Darbone, who was born in January 1913 in the town of Evangeline, in Acadia Parish.
		The Ramblers first recorded in 1935; its more notable works include "Quitter la maison," "Cajun Crawl," "Une piastre ici, une piastre la-bas," and their own string-band version of "Jolie blonde." Among the labels for which the group has recorded were Bluebird, Deluxe, Goldband, Arhoolie, and (in 1997) Hot Biscuits.
		Today the Ramblers continue to perform at folk and music festivals, with Darbone still serving as the group’s leader.

		For the mid-'30s sessions, the only constant in the Hackberry Ramblers' lineup was violinist and singer Luderin Darbone (who was still in the group when this CD was issued in 2003).
		Half a dozen different guys take lead vocals (in both English and French) at various points, and three of the tracks were actually issued under the name the Riverside Ramblers.

		Ben Sandmel, the young fellow who plays drums, as well as manages the band, produces their new records, and hauls the heavy stuff around, has a duty that is quite unusual for a band manager.
		Recently the Ramblers have had some great times, with lots of touring (including European tours), appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, the New Orleans Jazz Festival, and MTV, National Heritage Awards, and general acclaim.
		Anyway, I highly recommend the music of the Hackberry Ramblers (you can find their best stuff on the Arhoolie website) and if you have a chance to see the documentary, it is definitely worth an hour of your time.
