In some respects, Acadian Driftwood actually consists of several books in one. In it you’ll find:
- a historical overview of various facets of both Acadian and Cajun styles of music, with probes into related genres
- comparative and occasionally provocative essays that shed light on the music and culture of both Acadie and Cajun Country
- a few hundred up-to-date profiles of Acadian and Cajun artists, with listings of recommended recordings
- two dozen sidebars that offer a myriad of little-known information as well as original insights
