Customer Reviews:

Original, high energy band that deserves to be better known.......2002-09-14

I heard La Bottine Souriante at the National Folk Festival in Bangor, Maine this July and I'm listening to their Cordial CD right now. These guys are awesome, especially the fellow who plays the "feet." In their particular blend you can see a swirl of styles from Quebec folk to celtic to big band. They're an original high energy band that really deserves to be better known. Catch them where you can. Meanwhile, I've got to go track down some more of their CD's

It takes me back to "La Belle Province....".......2001-10-10

I bought this a few years ago in a cutout bin for around $5. I had never heard of the group before, but when I went to Québec this summer I made sure to take it with me. Many of the tracks show Irish influences as Québec was a destination for hundreds of Irish immigrants during the 19th-20th centuries. Some of the songs showcase the unique Québécois choral style, others such as "Beluga" are original compositions or interpretations. A wonderful taste of Québec music from a very talented band (I love the brass section--it really gives it an extra kick!).

Good, but La Mistrine and En Spectacle are better.......1999-12-06

See millepattes.com to learn about La Bottine Souriante (The Smiling Ankle Boot) and how to order their CDs. Let's hope Amazon makes all their CDs available, as Mille-Pattes charges $18 per disk. The band has ten or so CDs. Their tenth is known as "X" in Canada and "Rock & Reel" in the states. It's far from my favorite, however. Far better are "La Mistrine" and "En Spectacle" ("Live"). "En Spectacle" includes many tunes from their previous CDs, including "Chapeau", and the live versions are dynamite. I saw the band in Lafayette, LA, in April '99 and they were as good in person as on CD. A crew from PBS filmed the concert. We can hope for a broadcast in the coming months.

Great.......1999-10-07

I saw La Bottine Souriante in New York at Central Park Summerstage in July 1999. I haven't been this excited about a musical group in years.

In ONE TUNE, they played the following musical styles-Irish, Cajun, Polka, Dixieland, big band jazz, salsa and reggae. And they did it seamlessly and it really worked. This is the most original, high energy, quality music I have heard in years.

I tracked down an album (not easy) and ordered it-simply awesome. They have plenty of albums and it is virtually impossible to find them in the United States-UNLESS Amazon picks them up in a big way.

Gotta go and order their new album, Rock and Reel.

Where are the C.D.s?.......1999-09-21

I also saw La Bottine Souriante at Irish Fest this year. They had the place on their feet dancing. I researched the group and they have at least a dozen different c.d.s. Where can they be purchased? They just produced a c.d. this year but, sadly, were sold out at Irish Fest in Milwaukee. It seems that not a single music store between Michigan and Chicago can order any c.d.s more recent than 1990. Please look into carrying the c.d.s of this successful band for us.
