[Notes]
The Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band (Marc Savoy on accordion, Ann Savoy on guitar, and Michael Doucet on fiddle) bear out Marc's belief that folk music isn’t about performing but about its natural place in life. The 19 tracks share the spirit and joy of music as it would be played in an intimate family environment. The liner notes provide background information about the music on this recording.
