True roots enthusiasts, Racines are unwavering in their dedication to upholding the tradition of classic Cajun music. This self-titled Grammy-nominated release boasts a lot of two-steps, reels, and waltzes, and the level of musicianship, at a remarkably high level throughout, keeps the music taut and energetic. A must for Louisiana roots fans, and a fine place for the as-yet-unconverted to start, RACINES is a pure dose of Cajun goodness.
