Lots of Fun
This music is a lot of Fun! I started listening to it in my car, got to Trader Joe's just as a song started, went into the store with an old Loretta Lynn song on my mind, (but I didn't know why), sang my way through my shopping, got back to the car - the music started and I realized that the song that has just started was That Song and that this version is terrific, and in French! I enjoy the diversity of the songs, the pacing, the tones... it is my first cd of this "genre" and have nothing to compare it to, but as I always say, I know what I like! Thanks!

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.

The real thing
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!
