"DRY WOOD features the music of 'Bois Sec' ('Dry Wood') Ardoin, his sons and Canray Fontenot. Theirs is an older, rural style of Cajun music which, in the film, weaves together incidents in the lives of the Fontenot and Ardoin families. The film's highlights include a rollicking country Mardi Gras, work in the rice fields, a 'Mens Only' supper, and a hog-butchering party that takes the hog from kill to sausage.
