David Doucet's work with Beausoleil has done a great deal to establish the guitar as a Cajun instrumental voice on a par with the fiddle and accordion--it's a new idea, but he makes it sound natural and convincingly traditional. With backing from the other members of Beausoleil and guests Josh Graves on Dobro and John Stewart on upright bass, "Quand J'ai Parti" is a pleasing, lively combination of the old and new.
