Prends Courage

This first CD features the Sisters in an early configuration.  The music here recalls the sound of home music with three acoustic instruments and sparse, haunting vocals. Group founders Ann Savoy and Jane Vidrine are joined on this CD by Deborah Helen Viator, Tina Pilione, and Lisa MacCauley. Many of the tunes were inspired by the 78rpm records of Cajun pioneers Cleoma Falcon or Dennis McGee.  Several signature ballads are included on this Arhoolie Records album.

Price: $15.00 + 3.00 shipping & handling

 


"A fascinating CD foregrounds the perspective of women. Now Ann Savoy and Jane Vidrine are continuing the tradition of women playing fine Cajun music, and allowing modern sensibilities to free them from performing only with their husbands.One of the best things about this disc is the marvelous vocal blend achieved by Savoy and Vidrine. Gentler and slower than the quick-paced dancehall music that makes up the bulk of the Cajun repertoire, these songs let you listen more to the voices and the words."
