Jimmy C. Newman had several country hits in the 1950s, including the often covered "Cry, Cry Darling," but his Cajun-tinged hit "Alligator Man" a decade later turned him increasingly in the direction of traditional Louisiana 2-step material, although his approach was never strictly purist. This 20-song set is a great introduction to this Cajun-fueled side of Newman's career and includes his signature "Alligator Man," a version of Doug Kershaw's "Louisiana Man," a rendition of Hank Williams' faux Cajun anthem "Jambalaya," and a pair of bayou standards, "Jole Blon" and "Big Mamou."
