CD Reviews

As good as it gets!!
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 10/10/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cajun music simply does not get any better than this. Fiddler Michael Doucet is one of the great innovators and modernizers of this often-inaccessible Louisiana art form; anyone who's ever found themselves turned off by the raspiness of the classic cajun "chanky-chank" style should check this excellent best-of collection out. Doucet's fiddle and Marc Savoy's bouncy accordion, along with guitarist-singer Ann Savoy's solid backup bring the style up to sweet, melodic heights hitherto undreamt of. Their playing is tight and hypnotic -- check out an instrumental number such as "La Valse De Vachers (The Cowboy Waltz)" and you'll see what I mean. Personally, I'm not the biggest cajun-zydeco fan in the world -- for the most part this stuff drives me nuts -- but even I can hear the enchanting magic of this trio's work. Recommended!"
Amazing

"I love this. In an era when its difficult to find true, real or authentic things in this world, this is all of the above and more. I'm mesmerized and can't stop playing it. This trio is amazing beyond words.
I am in complete agreement with everything that the previous reviewer has mentioned-except that I'm crazy for Cajun music.
Enjoy! :)"

"Great! What a pleasure to listen to these fine Cajun musicians. They put their hearts into the music - and it shows."
