Formed in 1975 by fiddler Michael Doucet, Beausoleil has always
kept the traditional music of Acadiana at the center of things,
even as the group has expanded and brought elements of jazz,
zydeco, blues, calypso, and swamp pop into the music. They're
also a dance band, and though the group has recorded several
albums, and gone through fairly frequent personnel changes
(Doucet and his brother, guitarist David Doucet, are the
constants at the core of the band), Beausoleil's mix of loose
2-steps, stately waltzes, and swampy dance reels have always
been structured for motion and movement. This set, recorded live
in an intimate setting with a small audience in 2007, serves as
a sort of career retrospective for this impressive little band,
always at its best when there's a dancefloor
