Mingling songs from contemporary Cajun writers with a Quebecois reel and a waltz by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys carry forward the lively fiddle chops and ensemble skills of their late friend and mentor Dewey Balfa. This is an engaging disc, listenable or danceable as the mood strikes you -- and they even venture into zydeco territory with a take on Clifton Chenier's classic "Zharicot n'ont pas sale." Kerry Dexter

All Music Guide

Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys walk the fine line between fusing styles and perverting them, blending traditional Cajun with modern rock-tinged country. This session includes several vintage French-language numbers, plus fence straddlers like "Old Home Waltz," "Lovers Waltz" and "The Corner Post." The Mamou Playboys are good, exuberant harmonizers and have in guitarist Kevin Barzas the flamboyant personality who can extend their appeal without sacrificing their base. Riley is a good, if not great accordion player and steady vocalist. Ron Wynn
