"Al Berard and Karen England have recorded a superb Cajun music CD. It is amazing how powerful 2 fiddles can be without any other instrument backing them up. They play some wonderful old Cajun songs, trading back and forth between melody and seconding.There is an incredible rhythmic groove established between their 2 fiddles, they fit together like a glove. And they also play some songs they wrote, these songs have the feel of the classic form of Cajun fiddling with some unique contemporary flavor. It is a Cd that I haven't stopped playing since I purchased it!!!! For the die-hard fan of Traditional Cajun music, this recording will rate with some of the great masters of the Cajun fiddle, Dewey Balfa and Dennis McGee to name 2 styles represented here. For a person not familiar with the style, you will be treated to a fantastic introduction into a wondrous style of music.I am in love with this CD!!!!"
