Spend any time at all in the dancehalls of southwestern Louisiana and inevitably you’ll hear cries of “Une Autre ’Tit Bout” if the music and vibe are right. It’s the ultimate compliment that you can give a Cajun band, a request for a little bit more, which they’ll happily oblige by playing a strain of the last song.

When the same expression is applied to T-Sale’s latest, it’s not a dollop they dish out but whopping proportions, which is a good thing if you like the feeling of blood surging throughout the body. Compared to their auspicious 2004 debut, an acoustic, back porch affair, the ensemble’s sophomore effort is much more dancehall oriented—bigger drums and stellar electric guitar picking (as opposed to acoustic guitar rhythms) from Richard Burgess who often emulates the accordion rides. As an accordionist, Jean-Jacques Aucoin is a contemporary stylist with some Steve Riley influence, most notably on “The Whirlybird Special.” Though he’s not an aggressive player, he tends to cruise comfortably with clear, articulate playing and a signature accenting of certain notes.

While they’re firmly steeped in tradition—Jean-Jacques and brother/bassist Louie’s grandfather was legendary accordionist Cyprien Landreneau, whom they cover twice on the album—they modestly establish their own identity. As a lead vocalist, Jean-Jacque’s high lonesome, breaking tenor is practically hair curling, and teamed with Louie, their harmonies recall country music’s classic brother duos. Dave Trainer brings a lot of outside influences to the group and has a bluesy lilt about his playing. On “Tu Peux Cogner Mais Tu Peux Pas Rentrer” (“You Keep a Knockin”) jumps on the ivories and drives the proceedings to near chaos with all the crazy key banging. On two more tracks, T-Sale strives for a choked-down, old-timey sound with Louie thumping a washtub bass. Now that’s une autre ’tit bout.
