Fred Pellerin is a celebrated storyteller who knows how to keep listeners rapt—and he proves it on this sixth album of fables, tall tales, and folk songs. With great enthusiasm and a sprinkle of rambunctious humour, Pellerin recounts the founding of his hometown, Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, Quebec, on April 12, 1865. Around this bold act of faith, he spins various yarns, sidebars, and rollicking asides. He mellows in the album’s more musical second half, his voice carrying windswept emotion on “Je redeviens le vent,” accompanied only by acoustic guitar. The tone lightens even more with the upbeat “Je m’envolerai,” a daydream about flying away from earthly troubles.
