Customer Reviews

What a find
I was looking for some music suitable to play during my daughter's murder mystery dinner party set in post war Casablanca - the suggestions were Edith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier and Marlene Dietrich - when I came across this CD, and decided to buy it. Since it arrived a couple of days ago, myself and my two daughters (aged 14 and 10) have listened to it over and over again. I am especially intrigued by the scottish sounding track, but am also enjoying both traditional and contemporary tracks. It may only include one of the 3 suggested singers, but it definitely creates the required french ambience.

no funny title just beautiful music
I picked thi CD up because of a then upcoming trip to Paris and boy am I glad I did. It opened up a new world of beautiful music from beautful noir inducing waltzes to high spirited fist pumpers to slick jazz, this disc has all you need.
The music is mostly accordian driven with varios tempos and moods. Some of the tracks are older more traditional French musette and chansons that evoke images of wartime Paris and some of the tracks are more rock oriented not unlike a French version of the Pogues or Flogging Molly. This CD has something for everyone who enjoys new adventures in music and if youre a fan of world beat, cajun, french music or jazz, youre sure to enjoy this.
The standouts here for me ar Hulements D'Leo,Les Ogres Du Barback and Debouts Sur Le Zinc who mix punk spirit with this new style...
