Sealed, Rare 1977 Original Recorded At The Brandywine Mountain Music Convention. Pristine Copy. 5 Stars! “Looking For A Good Fiddle Music And Finding It Here, But A Bit More Like A Fellow Who Is Looking For Quartz Crystals Coming Across An Active Ruby Mine. Beginning With The Proud And Rollicking Simon St. Pierre And Winding Up With A Too-Brief Pair Of Items From The Fascinating And Strongly Countrified Joe Politte, This Album Contains A Series Of Performances That Are Profound And Will Stay In Both The Heart And The Feet For A Long Time. Louis Boudreault Must Feel The Same Away About The Latter Part Of The Body For Sure -- His Clogging Accompaniment As He Sits In A Chair Playing Fiddle Tunes Has The Impact Of Billy Cobham On A Double Bass Drum Pedal, Minus The Attitude. French Music Of North America, Be It From The North Or The South, Is Full Of An Indescribable Joy -- It Is Music That Whirls Around The Room, That Embraces The Listener In A Way That Is Quite Amazing When A Combo Such As The Balfa Brothers Are Holding Forth, And Even More Remarkable When It Is Only A Solo Fiddle Creating The Magic. The First Side Of This Album, Consisting Completely Of The Latter Type Of Performances From Both St. Pierre And Boudreault, Is For Sure A Platter To Lay On The Turntable When Solo Fiddle Music Is In Demand. These Are Live Performances, Too, Nicely Edited To Include On-Stage Patter And The Roar Of The Crowd, A Phenomenon That Seems To Happen During The Music As Well At The Conclusion Of A Piece.” Eugene Chadbourne, AMG.
