REVIEW Zydeco resembles much of Louisiana's cuisine: a peppery amalgam of bold flavors. Accordion-driven, this music's mix of Cajun dance rhythms cross-fertilized with R&B electric guitar sounds fairly chaotic at its very best. It doesn't get any better than this: the sounds of Zydeco's founder Clifton Chenier, his son C.J., and others, recklessly exemplifying a swampy, sultry, upbeat sensibility. A supremely satisfying soundtrack for any wildly festive occasion.(Norman Weinstein The Christian Science Monitor) |
