Currently residing in Austin, Texas (by way of northern California) this rowdy honky-tonkin’ band has of late been stopping in Acadiana so often that you can bet it’s not just routing through the Gulf Coast that’s at play. Coming through for Mardi Gras quickly escalates into scheduling gigs as an excuse to make it in for a cookout at Miss Fran’s house, and then it’s only a matter of time before Louisiana seeps into your music. On their latest album Jumpin’ Jolie, it’s obvious that they’ve taken a lot from the music and culture of Acadiana, which makes this album such an entertaining listen.

The rocking title track kicks the album off the way most of the Weary Boys have ended trips to Acadiana—parting from a certain “blue-eyed doe.” “Drink on it Tonight,” with beautiful harmonies and some very pretty fiddle work, makes an argument for choosing caution and cocktails in the face of heated passion. Keeping in tune with the Weary Boys’ dancehall-filling reputation are hopping honky-tonk numbers like Scott Biram’s “Baby Have No Fun” and guitarist Mario Maeteolli’s “Bet My Life (on the Loosin’ Side),” while slow tunes like their exquisitely soulful version of Larry Russell’s Spanish-style waltz “Vaya Con Dios” and guitarist Darren Hoff’s “Destination Nowhere” leave room for the guys to display some of the killer guitar work, solid rhythm, and tight harmony singing. Mixed into this barroom country style are also some recognizable nods to southwestern Louisiana, including the old-style scrub-board on the opening “Jumpin’ Jolie” and a rocking country version of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya.”

All of it comes together to make Jumpin’ Jolie an album that you could easily start a party in you living room with, and whether your guests speak French, English, or Texan, they’ll all be dancing and singing by the end.
