Star-Ledger, CD Review >>
This affable group from Quebec plays a little-known Canadian cousin of Celtic music that mixes Irish and French tradition. Underneath the fiddle, accordion and call-and-response singing is the steady beat from a seated player tapping out the rhythm with his feet.
The band's upbeatedness does not come with the fearsome energy of rock 'n' roll nor the hip-grabbing swing of jazz, but it does keep toes tapping. It is reminiscent of Cajun and Irish music, but has its own distinct character, cooked up for kitchen dances designed to shake off the cold, harsh days of lumberjacks' labor.
This young quartet polished up a rustic genre so its appeal should be broader than its backwoods origins.
