ALLONS A LAFAYETTE, Beausoleil's second 1988 release (the other is the excellent HOT CHILI MAMA), is distinguished by the presence of the great Canray Fontenot. Considered by many to be the finest Creole fiddler still playing in the old French style, Fontenot's nimble, melodic playing and expressive vocals, which seem to draw as much from African chants as from Louisiana sources (especially on "La Table Ronde"), grace several of the tracks here.
Of course, Beausoleil, and founder and fiddler Michael Doucet, are no slouches either--and their tasty treatment of traditional Cajun music is brought to life by the instrumentalists' scintillating chemistry. Triangle and spoons lend percussive support to the strains of fiddle, accordion, guitar, mandolin and dobro. With bluegrass-inflected numbers such as "Two-Step A Will Balfa," mournful, minor key love ballads such as "Donnez Moi Pauline," and bluesy grooves such as the Fontenot-assisted "Les Blues A Canray," Beausoleil has created another varied and thoroughly enjoyable roots-conscious disc.
