“As part of this landmark celebration, the group will release a 20-track commemorative CD on Feufollet Records entitled Prends Courage, christened after the raucous rock ’n’ roll track that opened 2008’s Cow Island Hop. The compilation features 17 tracks culled from Feufollet’s adventuresome seven albums and one 45-single; for the most part, it’s sequenced chronologically to show the band’s progression. The new tunes, says bassist and band manager Philippe Billeaudeaux, represent the three identities of the band. “Dans le magasin,” a Johnny Sonnier classic, is Feufollet’s nod to traditional dancehall Cajun. Kelli Jones’ “Going Fast” is transformed from a folksy pop tune into Keith Frank-styled zydeco. “Regard ensoleillé” is an unearthed trippy tune that was shelved when its writer, vocalist Anna Laura Edmiston left the band in 2012 to join—literally—the circus.”
