No Foolin! : Zachary Richard Offers Freeload of New, Unreleased Track until April 6

In celebration of the U.S. release of his latest album, LE FOU on April 1, 2013, Cajun singer/songwriter Zachary Richard is offering you a free download of his new unreleased song, “Bonsoir, Bonsoir.” Set in the tumultuous times of mid-19th century Louisiana, the song is sung from the point of view of a so-called outlaw whose only crime was the color of his skin.
