CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description David Doucet, guitarist for the popular Cajun band BeauSoleil, has defined a musical territory all his own on this exquisite album of traditional Cajun songs. While the guitar has long been a featured rhythm instrument in Cajun music, David has reinvented the guitar as a compelling solo voice, employing the fingerpicking style identified with folk and blues players such as Doc Watson, John Hurt and John Fahey. The result is Cajun music with an intricacy and subtle beauty that casts traditional songs such as the Balfa Brothers' "My True Love" or Dennis McGee's "Cowboy Waltz" in a stunning new light.

CD ReviewsWonderful playing, intriguing songs Kathleen McFadden | Boone, NC United States | 01/08/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "David Doucet's guitar playing is reason enough to buy this CD, but he gives you a double bonus with the songs he selected for this release -- just the right mix between lilting tunes and haunting ballads. You don't have to be a Cajun music lover to appreciate them -- although they are wonderfully representative of the richness of Cajun culture -- but simply anyone who appreciates the magic of a beautifully played guitar. Bravo, David! Please give us another solo guitar collection." Cajun Guitar Shines in the Spotlight Kathleen McFadden | 04/05/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "For more 20 years, David Doucet has been an excellent ensemble player with America's foremost Cajun band, BeauSoleil. As a solo performer, he blends his skill in both flatpicking and fingerstyle guitar to create a gumbo of traditional masterpieces. Doucet has an understanding of Cajun and Creole culture that contributes largely to his choice of technique. His vocal delivery on many of the cuts enhances the relaxed feel of this enjoyable, inviting CD. Liner notes include comments as to the history of many of the pieces, as well as special tunings."
