Avec Pas D’Casque – Trois Chaudières de Sang

This is in French. I don’t understand French. I do understand hurtin’ though and these are hurtin’ songs. Strapping on their acoustic guitars, these Quebec cowboys head off into the sunset with lapsteel in tow, yodeling quiet laments and ballads de l’amour. If only I knew how to sing along. (Terence Dick)
