This review is from: 1976-2005 Anthologie 2 (Audio CD)

This second, extensive anthology of the recordings of the French-Canadian folkloric but not so traditional band, La Bouttine Souriante, makes a fine introduction to the party, if you are not already familiar with them. The notes honor the contributions of past and current musicians, for the band has become an institution, like a symphony orchestra or jazz big band, one that has been around since 1976 and now includes around 10 members (the brass component since 1992). The tracks are well chosen, and though they are of varied quality, they demonstrate a continuity of their sound over the decades; yet taken together they do not satisfy as several of their superior albums. Lyrics are included, as well as album source and featured vocalist. The CD portion consists of 21 tracks over 77 minutes! The DVD contains, in French and in English, a detailed discography with commentary and samples; biography of the band; their awards; a section of posed and casual photographs; interviews (English subtitles when necessary); and six videos of comparatively tame ad hoc studio performances. I wish that this video portion would have been of a live concert before a large audience, because it is here when the band truly becomes exciting. Thus, this album is worthwhile documentation of an important band after its first 30 years.

I love this CD/DVD. I had another of this one, but I played and listened to it so often that it eventually got damaged. I ordered another to replace it.

I particularly enjoy looking at the DVD occasionally- it brings back the memories of seeing them in concert.

I can't help but move, tap, sing, dance to their music it is so lively.

Keep it up guys. This is the best one yet.
