The Magnolia Sisters offer a refreshing perspective on Cajun music, not only because they may be the genre's only all-woman band, but in their beautiful harmonies and rediscovery of little-known traditional repertoire. Ann Savoy, Jane Vidrine, Tina Pilione, Christine Balfa and Lisa Trahan Reed are strong acoustic instrumentalists who have created an album of beauty and great strength, balancing rollicking dance music with haunting and ancient ballads. Name recognition is strong in this band: Ann Savoy is a member of the Savoy-Doucet Band (with her husband Marc Savoy and BeauSoleil leader Michael Doucet) and Christine Balfa leads Balfa Toujours.
