We told you before, this bunch of Cajun’s ain’t cooking up your daddy’s gumbo. Kicking off with the kind of riff that was at home on the first record Tom Waits made after leaving Elektra for Island, this is a homebrew of contemporary Cajun pop where the language barrier is surmountable as the lead singer has a passion that connects with you and the backing is as far from Folkways Explorer records as you can get. Yeah, the accordions and fiddles are there but so is a bunch of other stuff that makes these death ballads and other tales of downers sound like anything but. A shining example of the world beat that exists within our own borders. 05/10/10
