REVIEW

“Classic Chenier, from his most fertile period, with his most sympathetic and imaginative producer (Arhoolie's Chris Strachwitz). Chenier proves once again that nobody _ and I mean nobodycould ever be a credible contender to his Zydeco crown. His accordion playing is stunning, his vocals always convincing and his rhythms irresistibly danceable. He shows what a great blues man he was; the unissued `Clifton's Blues' is a beautiful minor key song, of the kind he made so much his own, while `Let's Rock Awhile' is a straight R & B instrumental.”

(Ray Templeton — Blues & Rhythm)
