Album Review

"Pull Together, Paddlers" is the English translation of the latest release from one of my favorite traditionalist trios in the world, Quebec's own Genticorum. This album revolves around a theme, travel, which encompasses both old North American French trader/trapper songs and songs about a quick trip around the dance floor, among others. The fiddle is the focus here, of course, but flute, bass, and guitar are also featured, and all lyrics are proudly en Français, bien sûr. Overall, it's a rousing and spirited record, a collection of honest traditional tunes and wry original compositions (and vice versa, in a couple of cases) -- this fast-rising group's best release to date. 12/01/11
