Ex-Temptation David Ruffin was is in mighty fine form on this 1980 solo offering. Don’t be afraid of the disco production and don’t hesitate to dust off your dancing shoes.

Dans Les Airs by Le Vent du Nord []

book-jacket

view/request

I picked up this CD because of the album cover—I was intrigued because one of the band members was shown playing the hurdy gurdy. As it turns out, there is some great hurdy gurdy playing, but there is much more: wonderful vocal harmonies, great fiddling, Québécois foot percussion, and always infectious melodies and driving rhythms. A great album.

Strangest dream by Popcorn Behavior []

view/request

A local contra dance band, Popcorn Behavior plays wonderfully danceable tunes drawing from a range of traditions. This album also contains some songs, which are every bit as good as the dance tunes which surround them. A great album.
