Title: years ahead of their time
Review: Odd, charming CD. Alt.country meets chanson (or should it be chansonne?) in the form of singer/songwriter/guitarist T. Durbin and his partner Bernadette Colomine. Band name presumably refers to the French nightclub dance routine - not Native Americans per se. Literate, idiosyncratic songs, perhaps best conveyed by some of the song titles: "Merle's Cravate," "Last Night I Was Bad Person's Plaything" "My Baby - Il Est Souvent Au Lit," plus covers of "Je N'Ai Besoin De Personne En Harley-Davidson" (the Brigit Bardot song) and Cole Porter's "I've Got You under My Skin." Durbin and Colomine's second effort appears as "Shoofly." Definitely worth taking a flyer on this one.
