rock---all mixed up into one great sound!!!" ""The Star Spangeled Cajun CD"" Link Davis jr. has also put together a

greats,inclueding Asleep at the wheel(with whom he played with for 5 years), Emmylou Harris,Doug Sahm,Tracy Nelson,Dr.Jon,C.C.R
and others! being his first solo release "Cajunville",Which continues to sell in the U.S and Europe.Link Jr. is also the
