purity and clarity of her voice and the dignity of the old songs
combined to stun the normally raucous dancing crowd
into a moment of silent reverence, followed by a rousing ovation."

"I
love La Joie Cadienne. I had my doubts
before I bought it
because I expected it to be sweet and folksy, not my cup of
tea...
first time I played it I was surprised and delighted,
a really refreshing discovery."

"Many
roots grow through La Joie Cadienne,
and they intersect
seamlessly at a point of performance art and art preservation.
It's that good and she makes it sound so easy." |

"He
(BUTCH HANCOCK) was
accompanied that night by another singer,
a woman called Marce Lacouture, and the moment the show started
my mood was lifted. They sounded terrific together, this pair,
and it seemed like a small miracle that two throats and one
acoustic guitar
could transform the drafty pub into a place where nice things
could happen." |
