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.”(Geoffrey Himes — The Washington Post) |
