Arhoolie LP-5003. Luderin Darbone’s Hackberry Ramblers

The Hackberry Ramblers were a Grammy Award-nominated Cajun music band based in Hackberry, Louisiana, formed in 1933 by fiddler Luderin Darbone and accordionist Edwin Duhon. Since their heyday in the late 1930s, they became one of the most recognized names and influential groups in Cajun music. While their roots lay in the Cajun music repertoire, the Ramblers performed a broad range of American music, from Western swing to blues and rockabilly, and much of their sound blends them all.

The group had one of the longest histories of any musical group in the United States of America, and while the lineup changed many times over the years, Luderin Darbone and Edwin Duhon led the band until Duhon’s death in 2006. (Darbone died November 21, 2008).

The band played their last gig in November 2005 at the Shaw Center’s Manship Theater in Baton Rouge.

In 2002, Darbone and Duhon received a prestigious National Heritage Fellowship from the Folk Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Country Music Hall of Fame has also honored the group; it holds enshrined many of the founding members’ instruments.
