About this item

Amazon.com This 1984 release is an 18-track collection that mixes tracks from several previously issued (and now deleted) Beausoleil albums on Arhoolie, including the band's first disc on that label, Dit Beausoleil. It also serves as a reasonably complete survey of the band's time on Chris Strachwitz's landmark El Cerrito, California, label. The words of the title cut--"Speak to Us of Drinking"--says it all: this is Beausoleil at its best, mixing traditional Cajun waltzes ("Valse de Grand-Meche") and two-steps ("Midland Two-Step") with touches of the more modern sound ("Le Jig français") the band was to pursue after leaving Arhoolie. Sung in French by the group's leader, Michael Doucet, the songs on this collection effectively show Beausoleil's more traditional side. --Robert Baird Product description Format: Music CD, Arhoolie Records. Roots music CD release from Beausoleil with the album Parlez-Nous a Boire and More. Released on the label Arhoolie Records. Hard to find Jazz, Roots, Folk, Latin, Rock or World music CD.
