REVIEWS “The late Clifton Chenier, the man who launched the modern zydeco movement with his recordings for Specialty and Arhoolie in the mid-Sixties and who remains zydeco's most influential accordionist, is stunningly presented on this CD.Arhoolie owner Chris Strachwitz has selected not only Chenier's biggest hits like `Black Gal' and `Louisiana Blues' from 1965 but a fine cross-section of music from Chenier's ten Arhoolie LPs. There is plenty of the blues that was Chenier's mainstay, a couple of French favorites in `Allons A Grand Coteau' and `Big Mamou' and lots of hard-driving dance music. "Chenier's performances were severely curtailed before his death and it's a special joy to hear him rocking on `Zydeco Cha Cha' and `Tu Le Ton Son Ton.' This CD captures the excitement of Chenier at his prime and with its 15 tracks is a real bargain.” (Macon Fry — Wavelength) |

“15 examples of why the late Clifton Chenier was the foremost proponent of the Afro-Cajun, blues tinged idiom known as Zydeco. Chenier's rippling accordion passages and steely vocals, plus his engaging performance style, made him a legend in Louisiana. And, as the CD shows, he did everything from French songs to straight blues.”
(Ron Wynn — The Commercial Appeal) |
