In the world of Cajun music, Ann Savoy is one of the most admired icons of the genre. She's a singer with a gift for subtlety and nuance, an adept musician and producer. Beyond that, as a writer and photographer, she has extensively documented the unique music and culture of Southwest Louisiana. Now, with the release of Ann Savoy & Her Sleepless Knights, she's making music that breaks new ground while maintaining respect for the traditions of the past. She, together with her all-star band, has made an album of jazz-tinged music that is, at once swinging and sultry. With both down home and cosmopolitan overtones, it's a unique work that is certain to find an audience far removed from the Louisiana prairie and bayou land that birthed it.
