The Film

Since 1933, The Hackberry Ramblers have played an infectious, toe-tapping blend of Cajun music and Western swing. Part biography, part road movie, this documentary captures the poignant and funny exploits of these "agin' ragin' Cajuns," from a Bayou crawfish boil to MTV to their first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.
