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.
