Title: Good, but La Mistrine and En Spectacle are better
Review: See millepattes.com to learn about La Bottine Souriante (The Smiling Ankle Boot) and how to order their CDs. Let's hope Amazon makes all their CDs available, as Mille-Pattes charges $18 per disk. The band has ten or so CDs. Their tenth is known as "X" in Canada and "Rock & Reel" in the states. It's far from my favorite, however. Far better are "La Mistrine" and "En Spectacle" ("Live"). "En Spectacle" includes many tunes from their previous CDs, including "Chapeau", and the live versions are dynamite. I saw the band in Lafayette, LA, in April '99 and they were as good in person as on CD. A crew from PBS filmed the concert. We can hope for a broadcast in the coming months.
