MIND BLOWING!! First Time Hearing MARC BROUSSARD | HOME | Reaction

[@jwmson7791]

From Carencro Louisiana!! You see the Carencro water tower in the video. Marc is the man! ♥️♥️ This was shot along the bayous of south Louisiana, along and around I-10, some shots look like the Atchafalaya swamp that runs for miles along I-10. Nothing around there but alligators, snapping turtles, all manner of swamp creatures. It’s a wilderness unlike any other. The weather unfortunately much of the time is not the best because of the heat and humidity. And the mosquitoes ...! But it is beautiful and some of the best food you’ll ever eat. Great people too. The vest-like instrument you noticed mimics the sound of an old fashioned washboard, yes, used to wash clothes!! It’s called a vest frottier and is used often along with other simple household items (spoons etc...) in Zydeco music. This isn’t Zydeco but is does have that influence, along with Blues, soul, rock. Zydeco originated in south Louisiana right where Marc is from. And I think this was released in the 90’s. Check out more of his music. He’s covered so many old R&B and soul hits. I still listen to his first album, Carencro, often. IMO, Home has the heaviest rock influence of all his music. Great review! ♥️♥️

Was living in Metairie when this came out. It was 🔥. Everything you said is absolute 💯 & naively thought (until recently) that Marc Broussard was a household name. Now 20-yrs later I LOVE reintroducing Carencro to GenZ to witness their minds getting blown. #BayouBlues #SwampRock

[@yendamepingley6829]

My husband and I have seen him several times (over 20 yrs) indoors, outdoors and he sounds even better live!! He is amazing!

[@crazydale1000]

I was in the hospital for two months busted up in a car wreck. I listened to Marc Broussard everyday. His music just makes me smile

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

Have loved Marc Broussard since 2006. Have seen him in concert several times, he is amazing each time. Very good at relating to the audience. Although there are so many songs that are great he does one of my very favorite is The Beauty of Who You Are. He also does a couple of remakes Georgia is one plus Etta James, Sunday Kind of Love which is almost too good to listen to. Seriously gorgeous. Plus Do Right Woman. Oh Lord ... so many. He has new music coming out soon too.

[@countryliciousoutdoors6631]

He does great covers of motown songs of the 60's & 70's. He has a lot of soul!

[@kcollings11]

Marc is amazing! Such a crazy good voice and soul at only 16 years of age, but just a sweet and nice as he is a great singer!

[@MichaelDevine-p2x]

Beauty of who you are with his father Ted playing piano

[@Kimberly-ys4ks]

Wow! Never heard this song. This guy looks like he is barely old enough to drive but sounds “old” and I mean that in a good way.

[@jenniferwathen]

Marc is from Louisiana and the scenery is pure Louisiana!

[@kathybrown6763]

0ne of my favorite singers.

[@sparkysikes8455]

He puts on an amazing show. Have seen him 3 times. If you get the chance, go. You won't be disappointed.

[@suzyware7421]

The only thing better here in South Louisiana than the music…is the food.

[@bfly5990]

I love this. Who is this guy? This is the Mississippi blues sound. Love it

[@viking0079]

Best voice most have never heard of

[@rosemariediamond5948]

The grit and passion in his voice is superb. Great reaction

[@vanessarupe2039]

Carencro, Louisiana. Bayou country. Straight from the water, baby. ✌🏻❤️

[@lottiemagee8659]

Love this song and all of his music.

[@TrishF_2024]

Yay Marc! Love this man’s voice, So glad you found him, such a soulful voice. You won’t be disappointed with any of his music.

[@carol.luna.stella]

Never heard of him but very good indeed

[@DMAX_DIY]

I heard this on the 'radio' a couple times a few years ago while in Gulfport, MS. he's a local artist maybe from Louisiana. I've seen the CARENCO water tank before - yeah the guy has an awesome voice, great song.. I actually try to play it on Fridays when I'm headed home from being "on the road" all week.. Nice review.. great song (marc).. keep pluggin away

[@mamaflush9945]

Marc Broussard is another one of my favorite artists. He has done some incredible covers from other artists that are pretty difficult to cover such as Ottis Redding, Solomon Burke and Percy Sledge, just to name a few. Here's another song he covered "Marc Broussard - These Arms Of Mine (Ottis Redding Cover)" this is a live performance, I believe during the start of the pandemic. He's definitely just as good live as he is in the studio versions. And he crosses genres also, which also shows just how talented and diverse he can be. As you can see, I'm a fan...hehehe

[@itsamadmadsadworld4360]

I was waiting for your reaction to the second part of this..nobody expects it...he's awesome!

[@debrabutler5063]

This is Bayou music, sure he is from South Louisiana, probably from around New Orleans, Broussard is a common Cajun name there !!!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Was born in Lake Charles, La then moved to Texas. The best of both worlds! You are witnessing a taste of Cajun influenced music. From the Southern States of Louisiana and Mississippi. You’ve yet to experience “traditional Cajun music” which, Mark’s Daddy is known for. If interested, check out my late uncle - Doug Kershaw - Louisiana Man. Marc here is picking up a lot of the cajun sounds but more of the soul, slide acoustic guitar and church organ, missing the cajun fiddle and accordion. Lastly, there is Zadico. Which is a very fast-paced music and repetitious. And Yes, we always enjoy sitting outside listening to music. Check out raw footage of Marc singing Otis Reddings - These Arms of Mine (on his back deck)

[@robinmentzer7974]

Definitely looks like Louisiana to me ,as I was born and raised there. I hadn't heard this one before, it sounds like bayou music to me. You would like Mary Chappin Carpenter's Down at the twist and shout a cajun influenced song. It will have you tapping your toes for sure. She was enamored with cajun music when she heard it which influenced her song,

[@edwardsadler3348]

Got a big beard now and is absobloodylutly amazing

[@barbarapetitfils5017]

Louisiana boy. heard him at Jazz Fest

[@floraine26]

Oh! This is one of my favorites!!! I'm glad you are reacting.

[@sharipetkovsek5502]

so glad you hit this one!!; Have loved it for years. Gets ya movin' for sure. Try his song "Cry to Me"

[@belindareese9453]

Definitely "Cry to Me" next! Love Marc.

[@karensantiago5183]

This song and video is amazing!!!

[@keynabrownlee9328]

It was filmed at Saint Martin Lake I think Marc is from Carencro La

[@lisadickson250]

Omg! I haven't heard this in a long time, and I have his CD with this! Love this song!

[@childcrone]

So cool that you've found him! I was delighted to see him live in the small theater at a museum where I worked in the mid-2000s. A local radio station was doing recordings of alternative & singer/songwriter artists for annual 'Music Lounge' albums. He is equally good live!

[@memorywhitton5527]

WOW!!!!!!! That was awesome, never heard of him, never heard the song before,and his voice is a one of a kind, I wanna hear more of his 🎶🎵, Thank You Sir. For the reaction as always it was great 👍 God Bless You and hope you and your family have a blessed evening 🙏

[@margaretaldridge635]

Hey Craig great video as always 🥰🥰 hope you had a great time at can with family and friends 🥰🥰

[@D.JKennedy]

South Louisiana

[@lloydanderson1486]

"City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie Official Video

[@jmuraidajr]

You need to play Luckenbach Texas by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, I think you will really like it!

[@cargosquid]

Btw.. Marc Broussard isn't country. He has is own style. Swamp Funk. Go down the rabbit hole. SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC.

[@pluevo1]

Called swamp music sometimes. Not really country, influences are bayou & creole and delta blues

[@uncleruckusnorelation6705]

lousiana is that place he is from there

[@pluckinmageetar]

Louisiana is consistently (along with neighbor Mississippi) one of the poorest states in the U.S. so when you see people wearing "outdated" duds, it's not always by choice but necessity.

[@louisetemples7011]

Hey Craig! Mark is from South Louisiana and is known for his bayou soul music. He's great! I'm pretty sure this was filmed somewhere in the bayou country. He does play southern rock so you were right! Thanks! Love from South Georgia USA ♥️😀🍟

[@cargosquid]

It was filmed in his hometown.

[@weslennon3425]

It was in (as mentioned, his home town) Carencro, Louisiana...

[@suesally2103]

I live a few miles from Carencro Louisiana, we’re Marc Broussard family lives, and Louisiana is a great place to be, friendly people, tight knit families, Church on Sunday, Good food and Great music and yes Marc Broussard is as part of my music heritage. Here ⚜️

[@berlyn3014]

I absolutely love his voice and this song rocks! No matter how many times I hear it I end up chair dancing by the end. Thanks for reacting to it.

[@RMLtiger]

Saw him live here in south Louisiana many times and he’s unbelievable! Louisiana legend!

[@KajunMoo70]

So glad you reacted to Marc! I believe he was only 18 when this was done. I’ve shared a link to another awesome song which is a cover. His Dad, Ted, joins him on this one. Enjoy⚜️♥️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCtgoSrqMqNbck

[@reginairvine3919]

Awwww i love it when our Louisiana boy gets some recognition. Its called Bayou Blues what he plays and that man can sing and play it very well...considering he was in his teens when this came out....he's only gotten better

[@arnoldhancock5104]

Marc Broussard ''These Arms of Mine'' and '' Cry To Me ''

[@sandyboudreaux-barber9586]

He’s gotta be from Southern Louisiana soul! Reminds me of days playing the spoons, washtub bass. Lived in southern Mississippi about 30 miles from Louisiana. Loved it.

[@jeanniewolfenbarker3962]

Never heard of him but I liked it!

[@marybaillie8907]

Such a great sound. New artist for me. Really enjoy the southern vibe this song puts forth. And the instruments bring out a beautiful Bijou cadence. Mark's voice, with the rawness tears at your heart and soul. I loved this Craig. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@firefighterchick]

I've never heard this guy before! That voice! I agree more Soul, Blues, and R&B rather than country. I get a vibe of Elvis in his voice, and perhaps a bit of a male Amy Winehouse and John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival. I would love to hear more! Judging by the scenery I'd guess Louisiana, Bayou Country. Plus, I briefly looked him up his sound and it's referred to as Bayou Soul.

[@suzyware7421]

He’s from Carencro, La. Between Livonia and Lafayette.

[@edithdavis2848]

New one for me. He is good.

[@tiawarren5403]

A man who was born to sing, and sing the blues and soul!! Period..:) 💜

[@-TheOracle-]

I know thi smay not be seen, but he is wonderful in person. There is a duo of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" by Aretha Franklin (Morgan James & Marc Broussard cover) that will show you raw talent of two beautiful people. Try it!

[@wompa70]

Delta blues. Marc is a great musician. I’ve worn out my CD of this album. The Louisiana bayou and the Gulf of Mexico.

[@tiawarren5403]

He is just amazing! Every damn song he sings!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@cheryl3154]

Marc Broussard is so talented; he’s better live. I never miss seeing him when he’s in my area and have been to multiple concerts. The last time I went to see his show I got to meet his wife; she was in the lobby helping sell concert t-shirts. Too cool.

[@reginairvine3919]

Oh and as for living here it's hot! And humid In the summer, its hot in the fall, we have about a month of winter and 2 weeks of spring😂😂

[@lisababin3592]

Need to do cry to me from him.

[@reginairvine3919]

I'm pretty sure this was filmed somewhere around his hometown of Carencro and surrounding areas in south Louisiana

[@lottiemagee8659]

The make shift musical instrument is made out of an old wash board from long ago.

[@ShadowBanned904]

This song is multi-genre. Elements of country, soul, rock and gospel. Wonderful song. That's about all...

[@barrettgranger9139]

#DaBoot

[@LisaHilty]

He changes it up every time I've seen him live, which is dozens of times. Every one is incredible. He is considered bayou soul. He has never been a country singer.

[@sonnysmom6017]

Not a corrugated vest. A washboard. Traditional for making music in many rural regions. His musical style is often called Swamp Funk, also Bayou Blues.

[@susanmack1749]

This is from South Louisiana - the Mike marker 112 is is off I-12 (interstate) on the way to New Orleans. The long bridge over the swamp is I-10 over the Achafalaya River/swamp - (pronounced Acha - fal- i-a a Native American name) going towards Lafayette which takes you to Carencro (karen- crow) which is where Marc Broussard (Brew-sard) is from. He is an Acadian (Cajun) and his father is a famous local musician. Though he is Cajun, this is not Cajun music. Though the “washboard” is a common instrument in Cajun music. This is more like swamp pop. It’s a thing - Google it. Louisiana has a strong Catholic background from the French and Spanish settlers so the end of the video is probably his immediate family - lots of kids😉 You may have heard a version of this song on American Idol when Laine Hardy sang it. Laine is also from South Louisiana from the other side of the Mississippi River. Laine has a soulful raspy voice and sings this well.

[@wannamontana4130]

Location: This is all Louisiana, …. From Carencro, to Lake Martin, to the Atchafalaya Basin, etc etc, …

[@brianpierrotti453]

please react to his acoustic cover of Solomon Burke's Cry To Me. He performs it with his dad who is a Louisiana rock legend in his own right!

[@donaldhite413]

20 miles north of me. Swamp scenery from atchfalaya basin. This is his early work, he also does some beautiful covers of cry to me and sitting on the dock of the bay and many more

[@LisaHilty]

On his way home to Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.

[@bryanparker2925]

Louisiana Atchafalaya Basin, Carencro. Up l-10

[@pepelepewlsu]

Carencro, Louisiana is where he's from

[@robinhatcher8021]

Listen to him sing, In These Arms as well as Cry to Me.

[@keynabrownlee9328]

I used live in Lafayette la

[@tonidh69]

Swamp funk baby

[@calipidgious]

I know you did this video quite a bit ago but I have seen him live. He tours quite a bit in the US and I saw him in a little venue and it was an absolutely fantastic show. Hoping to catch him again next time I see he is in my area. Not only is he superb live but his band is sensational.
