Recorded in 2003, Ethel Mae Bourque's "Chansons de la campagne" could have been recorded 100 years ago. Her original songs were born of necessity and amusement, and her covers of Louisiana French classics take new life as she improvises the lyrics to represent her own joys and struggles. Ethel passed away in 2011 after a mandatory evacuation from Hurricane Gustav. Her songs and stories live on.
