From deserters to creole women who know how too cook, the Magnolia Sisters new CD is full of toe tapping tunes and beautiful stories of love, tragedy, and...fun! There are string band tunes from the 1930's as well, and a blues song written by Ann.
The Magnolia Sisters have forged an impressive catalog of music that remains true to the rich heritage Louisiana's music. For this new sixteen track recording they don't mess with success, they simply continue to make beautiful music together.

Recorded By The Magnolia Sisters 1995-2014: Songs From The 1930's Lomax Louisiana Collection-A Compilation
In honor of this year’s festival Acadien’s celebration of 40 years of good music and 80 years since John and Alan Lomax made recordings in Louisiana, the Magnolia Sisters have compiled a collection of 14 of their band’s recordings of this collection.
Since Michael Doucet and Barry Ancelet first brought this material back to Louisiana it has been an enormous inspiration to the Magnolia Sisters. The depth and breadth the materials collected were breath taking and beautiful. Over the past 19 years they recorded 20 of these numbers on various labels and albums. Here, on this new CD, they are in their rich beauty, all together on one CD. Included also are two live cuts done on the road and two or three studio out takes that were uncovered as they looked back over their recordings of the past 19 years.

Ann Savoy, Jane Vidrine, Anya Burgess and Lisa Trahan represent the very best that modern Cajun music has to offer

The Magnolia Sisters offer a refreshing perspective on Cajun music, not only because they may be the genre's only all-woman band, but in their beautiful harmonies and rediscovery of little-known traditional repertoire. Ann Savoy, Jane Vidrine, Tina Pilione, Christine Balfa and Lisa Trahan Reed are strong acoustic instrumentalists who have created an album of beauty and great strength, balancing rollicking dance music with haunting and ancient ballads. Name recognition is strong in this band: Ann Savoy is a member of the Savoy-Doucet Band (with her husband Marc Savoy and BeauSoleil leader Michael Doucet) and Christine Balfa leads Balfa Toujours
