JO-EL SONNIER Vinyl Records and CDs

He began playing the accordion at the tender age of three and landed his first radio performance when he was only six years old. Although his career hasn't been commercially successful, no country musician can say that Jo-El Sonnier isn't a Cajun King Midas. A much sought-after session player, Sonnier has landed on albums by Hank Williams Jr., Ricky Skaggs, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Sonnier's own music is a hearty blend of festive Cajun R&B (he grew up in Louisiana), twang-toned Americana, and slick Nashville country.
