5 out of 5 stars Toe-tapping pleasure.......2007-07-23

This CD features many songs from my French-Canadian heritage, but you don't have to know French to appreciate it. The melodies and rhythms are reminiscent of Celtic music. In fact, load your CD changer with this and a couple of Celtic CDs, hit 'shuffle' and you'll see that it fits seamlessly. This CD is a genuine joy.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Variety of Franco-American Music!.......1999-06-06

Of the cuts I've heard, this is a great album with a variety not usually seen. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!
