Drinking songs, call-and-response songs, and joyful laments make up this fine and musically muscular record. Because the merry band doesn't just cover traditional songs; they perform true anthological work, unearthing pieces from the four corners of Quebec, but also from Manitoba, Ireland, and even Spain. The group's nine musicians succeed in creating jazz, and sometimes funky, atmospheres thanks to a powerful brass section. The fusion between the genres explored is perfect. Each song gives rise to surprising musical discoveries. The rich and imposing voice of singer and storyteller Yves Lambert is immediately captivating. From the mischievous "Un air si doux" to the jazzy "Alice au pays d'Arto," Xième shines with its originality and intelligence. A fun booklet, filled with anecdotes, completes the album. --Diane Jean
