This CD brings you spontaneous performances by Michael and David Doucet who also back Miss Lollypop on her unique version of "Hey! La Bas." Michael and David then join clarinetist Sammy Rimington, singer and bass drummer Lionel Batiste Sr., and guitarist Lars Edegran. The great blues singer and pianist Henry Gray is here, as well as Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes, singing and playing accordion and harmonica, backed by Michael Doucet on fiddle!
