"L'Amour Poisonne" is a particularly dynamic song. Cajunization is an outstanding achievement by Michael Doucet and Beausoleil. The songs are a mix of styles that have been "cajunized", resulting in a truely unique sound. This work is brilliant, sophisticated, yet fun to listen to over and over. If you could have only one Beausoleil CD, this is the one you should have.
Nice mixture of traditional cajun with some jazz, blues and a touch of cuban. Just saw these guys last week on Maui, they were great. Bought the CD at the show, it's really a wonderful CD, imho. I love each and every track, shows their versatility as a band. Sure, the cajun dance songs are fun, but it's nice to hear them expand the genre a bit, something they do very well on this CD.
BeauSoleil always brings new insights into their cd productions, but this one really touches the heart and soul. "Chanson pour Tommy" is stunning, as "La Terre de mon grand père" and "Recherche d'Acadie" are historically important. I hope they do more albums like this. From a hometown fan.
They are not getting older; they are getting better. Great insturmentals, vocals, all around good music.
I love Beausoleil and have all their music, but this cd is the worst one that they have done.I found 3 good songs, 3 ok songs and the rest are bad. Hopefully their next cd will be as good as the Lamour ou la folie,la danse de la vie ,or the Cajun Conga cd's.
