If you want traditional Cajun music, this is your band. If you want the very best in Cajun music, this is still your band. This "best of" package includes 22 tracks selected by the band and Arhoolie President, Chris Strachwitz. This traditional Cajun music is lively, enjoyable, and celebrates the joys of uncomplicated, everyday life. The Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band is: Marc Savoy - accordion and vocals; Ann Savoy - guitar and vocals; and Michael Doucet - fiddle and vocals. Three amazing musicians recorded over the course of 22 years, on one CD... Combining the solid, traditional accordion work of Marc Savoy with the acoustic fireworks of Michael Doucet (of BeauSoleil fame) and the lilting guitar and vocals of Ann Savoy (who recently had three tracks on the soundtrack of The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood). The Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band makes traditional Cajun music that is lively, enjoyable, and celebrates the joys of uncomplicated, everday life.
Savoy Doucet’s Ann Savoy is featured on the Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood Soundtrack CD. While the T Bone Burnett (O Brother Where Art Thou) produced record features tracks from Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Macy Gray, Lauryn Hill, and Tony Bennett, Ann is the only artist featured on three tracks of her own.
Ann Savoy recently produced Evangeline Made: A Tribute To Cajun Music for Vanguard Records. The CD features Linda Ronstadt, John Fogerty, Richard Thompson, and Nick Lowe singing traditional Cajun music.
The Savoy-Doucet Cajun band, featuring accordionist Marc Savoy, singer/guitarist Ann Savoy and fiddler Michael Doucet, are no doubt the premier traditional Cajun band active today. The CD spotlights not only this trio's remarkably tight interplay resulting from having played together for almost 20 years, but also their individual talents as soloists. Most of the 19 cuts were recorded by Joel Savoy in the family's small studio near Eunice, LA. but two "Live" cuts are also included. Booklet includes lyrics to the songs in French and English."
