REVIEWS

“Singer/accordionist Marc Savoy says `I’ve always thought of Cajun music as a social thing something which best belonged in the intimacy of a home where it was a natural and enjoyable part of the family environment.’ Marc Ann Savoy (guitar & vocals) and Michael Doucet (fiddle & vocals) are the Savoy-Doucet Cajun band and this CD compiles 18 traditional-style tracks from their 1980s albums. The band learned most of the songs from the previous generation of performers who learned them from a previous generation and so on. Each selection exudes warmth vitality commitment and an authentic bonding between performers and the material drawn from their heritage while simultaneously delivering a front porch down-home feel.”

(Al Riess — Dirty Linen)

“Tender and moving vocals and occasional pyrotechnic instrumental breaks. Hearing this makes me feel like they are letting me into a family music gathering warm and cozy. Very pleasant indeed.”

(Kerry Blech — Victory Review)
