<p>[ZYDE-PUNK] Louisiana's Lost Bayou Ramblers are to zydeco what the Pogues are to Celtic music. Sharpening traditional Cajun music with a punk edge, the band mixes fiddle, accordion and the distinctively strained French-language vocals of singer Louis Michot with electric guitar and a humid, rock-club energy. At this year's Pickathon, the group turned one of the barn stages into a Southern swamp shack. Granted, that had something to do with the 100-degree weather, and the fact that fan and friend Gordon Gano joined the band for a series of deep-fried Violent Femmes covers. But despite the presence of some big names, the Ramblers' newest album, <i>Mammoth Waltz</i>—featuring contributions from Gano, Dr. John and Scarlett Johansson, of all people—stomps and swings on its own accord.&nbsp;</p>
