Search - Savoy Doucet Cajun Band :: Live! At the Dance

Michael Doucet is best known as the leader of Beausoleil, the finest progressive-Cajun band anywhere, but he also plays with the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band, a drummer-less traditional Cajun trio featuring button accordionist Marc Savoy and his wife, singer-guitarist Ann Saboy. This album was recorded at the Birchmere in Virginia, Ashkenaz in Berkeley, and Synod Hall in Pittsburgh, and it's a delightful example of the trio's ability to summon the lyrical harmonies out of Cajun music's past. On the uptempo tunes, Marc Savoy often shouts, "Come on, Doucet!" and the fiddler responds with ever faster and more intricate improvisations. --Geoffrey Himes
