Isidore Soucy Et Son Ensemble - Chez Isidore

Review by Joe Joe Gutierrez

Chez Isidore by Isidore Soucy Et Son Ensemble is a delightful album that showcases the best of traditional Quebecois music. The album features 16 tracks, each one a perfect example of the vibrant and lively music that has made Soucy a beloved figure in Quebec's musical history.

The album opens with "Reel de la Pointe-au-Pic," a lively and energetic tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is treated to a variety of styles, from the upbeat "Reel Des Soucoupes Volantes" to the more somber "Valse Des Jouets."

Throughout the album, Soucy's accordion playing is a highlight, with his fingers dancing across the keys and bringing the music to life. The other members of his ensemble provide excellent backing, with fiddles, guitar, and bass all adding to the overall sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Reel De La Bouteille," a fast-paced tune that will have listeners tapping their feet and clapping along. Another highlight is "Valse Des Petits Pas," a beautiful waltz that showcases Soucy's skill as a composer.

Summary by Joe Joe Gutierrez

Chez Isidore is a must-have for anyone who loves traditional Quebecois music. Isidore Soucy Et Son Ensemble have created a timeless album that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
