Traditional Cajun music with a wild kick from a rock'n'roll cowboy boot!
Recorded in France in 2008, "Off to the Honky Tonk" received "Bravos" from TRAD Magazine, 4/4 stars from Soulbag Magazine, and 3/4 stars from Maverick Magazine. The album features many original songs co-written by Sarah Savoy and Gerard Dole, as well as the group's first hit, "Hello, Baby!"
Recorded in Louisiana at Joel Savoy's Savoy-Faire Studios in December, 2009, the songs on "C'ez Savoy" are more traditionally Cajun than those of the first album, and include "Lapin dans son nique" by Ann Savoy, Sarah Savoy's "'Tit monde, 'tit monde" response to Wilson Savoy's "Catin, catin," Vincent Blin's "A la maison two-step," Sarah Savoy's first original, "Dis-moi que tu m'aime pas," and the band's most requested waltz, "Marie mouri," the duet featuring Sarah Savoy and Manolo Gonzales. Joel Savoy plays guitar on "Marie mouri" and Baton Rouge drummer friend Glenn Fields (Red Stick Ramblers, Ann Savoy & Her Sleepless Knights) joins the group for three songs.

We had an awesome weekend in Holland. It was great to meet y'all and that we'll soon meet again. Hope you had a safe drive home and that Anna Marquette had a good time at her first festival.
Hey Sarah, dont forgett the CD's C'ez Savoy and the bars are all closed to Raamsdonkveer. I'm glad to see you and the band. Wish little family and band all the best. ;>..
This is NOT an advert like all the rest.... it's a "hello how are you?" come meet the rest... May melody flow for ever from your lips.. may you boogie woogie from the hips... May your smile be always the right way up.. So we can drink to you upon our cup
oh my goodness, sarah, she is divine! i especially like the photos of her under your shirt, her with that little piehole open next to sleeping mom, and her little socks. i can't wait to meet her in person and give her my own bunny rabbit notes.
