<h2 id="production">Production</h2> <p>Ronstadt, a soprano, and Savoy, an alto, had previously recorded duets for the Savoy-produced album <i><a href="/facts/Evangeline_Made%3a_A_Tribute_to_Cajun_Music/2lCngaR7">Evangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music</a></i>; here, they sing together as The Zozo Sisters on the album, which brings together a mixture of Louisiana Cajun sounds, popular music of the 20th century, and folk/rock classics. The album includes an interpretation of <a href="/facts/The_Left_Banke/NQwfqWug">The Left Banke</a>'s 1966 hit "<a href="/facts/Walk_Away_Ren%25C3%25A9e/9NcXmRsb">Walk Away Renée</a>", <a href="/facts/Harry_Belafonte/9c9C1jah">Harry Belafonte</a>'s 1950s hit by <a href="/facts/John_Jacob_Niles/zaLTjlRa">John Jacob Niles</a> "Go Away From My Window" and the French classic "<a href="/facts/Parlez-moi_d%2527amour_(song)/w9T5SxUP">Parlez-Moi D'Amour</a>".

She sings in French — I don't speak French — but there's traditional love in this bond."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p><p>The album was recorded at <a href="/facts/Dirk_Powell/Bl6Aud7l">Dirk Powell</a>’s Cypress House Studio in <a href="/facts/Louisiana/2GvfFcKE">Louisiana</a>.
