Just Plain Beautiful Joyous Music, July 5, 2004
This review is from: Cajun Album (Audio CD)
Hard to believe there was ever a time that I thought 'Cajun' was exotic. Now I see it as 'Americana', with a slight twist. If you're already familiar with Cajun music then this is a must-add for your collection. If not then this is a great place to start. Marc and Ann Savoy have been making beautiful music for many years now, and with the addition of the rest of their family they not only continue but broaden their musical tradition. This CD is so much fun. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this last weekend at 'Fitzgeralds' and what a show! It's always nice to see people waltzing but there was some serious footstompin' when the Savoy Family revved things up. Marc and Ann don't let it it get too out of hand but their sons, Joel and Wilson, really kinda kicked out the jams. See them live if you get the chance. The slower songs are achingly pretty(so is Ann!) and the faster dance numbers build up like a runaway train. Whew!
This is a fabulous CD!
