Provenance & Context
The Story of the Release
La grosse piastre is the celebrated 2019 outlaw country album by Memramcook, New Brunswick troubadour Menoncle Jason, released on Le Grenier Musique. With a rumbling bass-baritone voice, sharp Acadian Chiac wordplay, and hard-driving honky-tonk arrangements, the record satirizes modern consumerism and celebrates working-class rural grit.
