French Canadian Country Dances

• Track Listing

French Canadian Dances features upbeat tunes by Quebecois harmonica virtuoso Aime Gagne. on this 1982 release Gagne plays rhythm and solo at the same time, in one breath... It's a little bit like an accordion, except the 'wind' comes from the man, not from the instrument. Accompanying instruments include guitar, dulcimer, spoons (wooden and metal), and Jew's harp. Liner notes, in French and English, include song descriptions and commentary from Alain Blanchet, who accompanies harmonica player Aime Gagne on guitar throughout the recording.
