"The Pine Leaf Boys are the genuine article: this is real Cajun music, not just Cajun-flavored pop. The use of accordion and fiddles makes for a wonderful sonority, that is edgy and soulful at the same time, and the singing, most of it in that wonderfully twisted French that Cajuns speak, is just as perfect. There are plenty of zydecko bands out there, who draw from this music, and fuse it with other sources. But the Pine Leaf Boys offer the real thing, straight up, or as I usually tell the bartender, "neat." Une bonne collection, mes copains!"
Great modern-day Cajun music

"Fans of Louisiana cajun music will dig this, another fine album from this up-and-coming young ensemble. Heartfelt and lively, they bring new vigor to this old style... Lots of great French-language originals from fiddler Cedric Watson, too. Recommended!"
Super!!!!

"If you want to shut your eyes and dream you are back in Louisiana, get this CD! I love it. I saw them live at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and ordered the CD the day I got home. You won't regret getting this one."
Great CD

"This is a great CD. It runs the gamut from old style to zydeco. I especially liked that all the songs were sung in Cajun."
