Album Review
>>
I also love the album En Couleurs by a group called Feufollet - the track I like in particular is Au Fond Du Lac. They're from, I believe, Abbeville, Louisiana; I met a couple of them this spring when I was playing Jazz Fest in New Orleans. There's quite a lot of traditional music down there - Cajun music - but what's interesting is they're young kids, so they've also got their own ideas. This sounds like a new kind of rock and roll. They sing everything in French - great melodies, three singers, accordian and everything- but there's also electric guitar. There's an artistry to it that enables them to step out from time and place and tradition. It's one of the most beautifully melodic records I've heard all year. 10/16/10
