The first-ever Grammy Award for best Cajun/zydeco album brought out quite the field of nominees—not just the standard five, but thanks to a three-way tie for the last slot, a Louisiana lucky seven:

Terrance Simien, Geno Delafose, the Pine Leaf Boys, the Racines, Roddie Romero and the Hub City All-Stars, the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Jethro Tull.
