REVIEW
“Glen Pitre’s 1986 feature film ‘Belizaire the Cajun’ is a wonderful fictional evocation of French Louisiana culture and crucial to its success is a score composed by Doucet and played by his band BeauSoleil. The 14 Doucet tunes from that soundtrack form the core of this new 68-minute CD. Filling out the album are 6 selections from BeauSoleil’s 1981 album ‘Dit BeauSoleil’ plus 3 previously unreleased duets between Doucet and seminal Cajun fiddler Dennis McGee as well as 3 more previously unreleased duets between Doucet and his brother David a guitarist. The result is a treasure trove of traditional Cajun music.”
