Music reviews of Cow Island Hop
Music Review: Taking Cajun music into the 21st Century
Rating: 4 Stars
Taking Cajun music into the 21st Century
The group of six young musicians from Louisiana have taken the traditional string band music performed by the Balfa Brothers in the 1940s-1960s and that of Beausoliel and Mark Savoy in the 70s and 80s and tweaked it to bring it up to the 21st century.
I haven't gone to their web site yet (www.feufollet.com) to download the lyrics in English (the songs are all performed in French) so I'm not sure what the subject of each is. But the arrangements and instrumentation had me from the get-go.
The CD doesn't list the instruments each of the members plays - and they are shown in photos without instruments - so I can't pick the standouts. But their "guest musicians" play drums, Steel Guitar, Mellotron, Trumpet, Saxophone and TUBA. (TUBA????). And it works.
Most of the songs are traditional ones that I recognized from recordings by the aforementioned Cajun legends, and there are a few original songs as well. The CD runs less than 45 minutes for the 11 tracks and suddenly I found the album ending. We, it was time to hit the "replay" button.
When time permits, I'll check out their web site and learn more about them. Until then, all I can say is that the music is mighty fine.
