"A good portion of the proceedings sweep through a worldwide Creole odyssey that starts with the enchanting "La Douceur," a melody found in many Louisiana Creole tunes, and ends at Canray Fontenot's "Les Barres de la Prison" featuring Michael Doucet's descending, yet novel fiddle lines".

"The bandleader's wailing vocal in the murder tale "Carenco" derives from some forbidden crossroads at midnight in the Louisiana swamps, and the ever-so-spirited string-and-percussion band reinvents James Brown's "I'll Go Crazy" and John Coltrane's "Bessie's Blues" as Cajun dancehall frolics".
