Editorial Reviews
"We re-imagined many of these tunes for the occasion, including a mad romp through the history of guitar and piano during Hot Rod Lincoln, which was our top-10 charting hit with Commander Cody."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cajun bayou music
Happy foot stomping music and a double cd

5.0 out of 5 stars Croc n' Roll
Who could resist a band with an album called 'Life in the Bus Lane'? I spent a few happy years in London some thirty years ago going to pubs like the Cricketers, the Half Moon and the Hare & Hounds to see such legends as Alias Ron Kavana, Otway, Peter Blegvad, Paddy goes to Holyhead....and the Balham Alligators. I can't think of a better evening than having a few pints and hearing the incredibly urgent opening accordion break on the 'Balham Two-Step' which generally launched the proceedings. So this is pure nostalgia for me.
Listening to it all again, I'm reminded of what great, really great, musicians they all were. The core of it is cajun, but with lots of other genres chucked in. I don't think I'm a particular cajun fan, but I defy anybody not to be uplifted by this. If it can get me to dance it must be good. Get it - it'll put a big smile on your face

5.0 out of 5 stars Bayou now !
This is a superbly mixed double cd of the complete Balham Alligators output. This time the CDs sound better than the vinyl I think.
- Rockin' Cajun, blues, rock 'n roll... you'll either tap your foot or sway
This band has musicianship galore - Geraint Watkins accordion, McKidd's fiddle, Kieran's loose but tight drumming, that good bass you 'don't notice but sure feel' & Gary's beguiling vocals[and guitar] ... Well this band had soul power galore
How I wish there was a dvd as well, of these guys, 'back in the day'... [So, Thanks Guys and 'hat's off' from one who used to watch you at some of those gigs]
I don't wanna be in love, but I still am !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great band, great music, great value and promptly delivered.
A "must have" cd if you ever saw The Balham Alligators, and worth a listen even if you didn't. It's a brilliant collection of
four cds, including "Live at the Half Moon," of good time cajun and swamp music, done only how "the Balhams" could!
It brought back many happy memories dancing and singing along to them, always left feeling you'd had a great night. A good remedy if you're feeling depressed!

5.0 out of 5 stars but the live album in particular show what a great band these guys could be
As mentioned elsewhere this a compilation of their 3 studio albums and 1 live album. The standouts are the live album and their last studion album Gateway to the South with the latter featuring that rarity an interesting cover of Johnny B Goode. All the albums, but the live album in particular show what a great band these guys could be. The liner notes as well act as a great reminder of the London pub music scene in the 90's which brought back many happy memories. If you like cajun music played with a real sense of fun and no little ability then give it a go.
