Anyone knowwho did the version of "On The Bayou" in the film 'Steel Magnolias'?

You know, a suped up version of ‘On The Bayou’ - the old Hank Williams tune - played by the wedding band in the movie ‘Steel Magnolias’.

I’ll be damned if I can find the answer - and believe you me: I tried.

[ol][li]Google Keywords: “On The Bayou” / “Steel Magnolias” [/li](Nada. Strike 1.)

[li]Bought the OOP Soundtrack on eBay: [/li](Sorry, only the original HW version on the CD. Strike 2.)

[li]Barnes & Noble.com: Listened to cuts of at least 30 versions. Everybody from the Neville Bros to C/W performers I never heard of. [/li](Strike 3! Yer outta there. Go ask the Cafe Society denizens on the SDMB.)[/ol]Come on. Somebody’s gotta somebody who knows the nephew of someone who has the answer

These guys came to mind immediately, but I don’t know for sure if it’s one of their songs. Check out a Cajun band called BeauSoleil Amazon might have list of their song titles.

Good Luck!

Nope, I was wrong… here’s a better link.

From IMDB…

“JAMBALAYA”
Written by Hank Williams
Performed by Tommy Funderburk

In other words: next time, John, make sure you have the right title. :slight_smile:

Nah… it just makes the hunt a little more interesting. :wink:

Many Thanks Jeff Olsen & SylverOne. Sorry about the title faux pas (I assume they say that on the bayou). I have a mental block caused by ignorance sometimes when it comes to C/W music. The Jambalya title is right here on the soundtrack CD and what I searched with on google and b&n.com, but for some stupid reason, I got side-tracked by the CCR CD playing here at work.
