A documentary showcasing the life of Louisiana swamp pop singer TK Hulin will screen this week at Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, TK himself has a slight dispute with his categorization as a swamp pop star.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I did some swamp pop, but I never was a swamp pop singer,” said the singer, who is 82. “Mostly it was rhythm and blues, a little country. I mixed it all up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Good Time Hard-Loving Cajun Man,” from filmmaker Lucy Henke, is a documentary showcasing the life of this dynamic musician,\u00a0who electrified Louisiana stages in the 1960s and for decades after.<\/a>\u00a0The film debuted at the Southern Screen festival last year, and the Acadiana Center for the Arts is hosting a second showing\u00a0on Wednesday, Jan. 28. TK Hulin and his brother, bandmate\u00a0Larry \u201cB-Lou\u201d Hulin, will be at the screening for a question and answer session.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Hulin retired from performing in 2024 due to painful symptoms of PLS, or primary lateral sclerosis, a rare nerve cell disease. Despite being wheelchair bound, he misses performing and has enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with fans through the documentary.\u00a0<\/p>\n “It’s gotten so many good responses, it’s been unbelievable,” he said. “I’ve been singing a long time baby. 67 years. But when you’re hurting and trying to sing in a wheelchair\u00a0\u2014 I couldn’t do it. It didn’t sound good. I miss it a lot, I really do.”<\/p>\n
