The Hackberry Ramblers, a Cajun music band based in Hackberry, Louisiana, were formed in 1933 by fiddler Luderin Darbone and accordionist Edwin Duhon. By 1933, the group performed on local radio stations and signed with RCA's Bluebird Records. They recorded notable songs such as "Jolie Blonde" (1936) and "Oh Josephine, Ma Josephine" (1936). They adopted the name The Riverside Ramblers due to a sponsorship deal with Montgomery Ward. The band's repertoire included Cajun music, country music, Western swing, jazz, and blues. In the 1960s, Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records recorded the group. Darbone and Duhon received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2002. The band toured until Duhon's death in 2006, and Darbone died in 2008. The Country Music Hall of Fame acquired several of the founding members' instruments for its collection.
