The Lakes Of Pontchartrain – Various Artists

By rebelvoiceblog

This beautifully haunting song is set in Louisiana. It is a creole song but has become a firm favourite across Ireland. Here it is performed by a number of talented Irish musicians. Which do you prefer?

    Thanks so much for posting/sharing these beautiful ballads of Lakes of Pontchartrain–it brings back memories to me when I was about 10yrs old, while living in Memphis TN my family drove down to N’Orleans across the impressive Pontchartrain bridge!! I have subsequently learned that this was an artificial/man-made lake and the bridge is the longest in U.S.!! These ballads are a Blessing/blessed relief from the onslaught of political/stressful e-mail/messages I received daily…

      Thanks for your comment. I agree with the value of music in helping to sooth in these troubled times. The ballad shown is so popular in Ireland that it has overtaken many of our own. No greater compliment can we give to it.
