Hackberry Ramblers |
 | | During the 1930s and 1940s the group hosted its own radio program, broadcast to a loyal audience throughout southwest Louisiana and east Texas. |
| | 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. |
