Our Take

Ah, LA BOTTINE SOURIANTE, the masters of traditional Quebecois folk music. Their latest offering, "Appelation D'Origin Controllin," is a wild and lively romp through the esoteric world of French-Canadian toe-tapping goodness.

From the opening accordion notes to the infectious fiddle melodies, this album is a non-stop party that will transport you to a quaint village square in rural Quebec. The band's energy is infectious, and it's impossible not to tap your feet or clap your hands along with the music.

The interplay between the various instruments is tight and precise, showcasing the musicians' incredible skill and talent. Each track feels like a mini-celebration, with layers of joyful sound intertwining to create a rich tapestry of sound.

Tracks like "La Sarre en Haut" and "Les Sabots d'Hélène" are instant classics, blending traditional Quebecois melodies with modern production techniques to create a sound that is both timeless and contemporary.

Overall, "Appelation D'Origin Controllin" is a delightful and uplifting album that will have you dancing and smiling from start to finish. LA BOTTINE SOURIANTE have once again proven why they are one of the preeminent bands in the world of folk music. Santé!
