REVIEW “Not only is it the best Clifton Chenier CD, but an essential album of postwar, downhome blues, not simply a great Zydeco recordincludes recordings with the underrated Texas pianist Elmore Nixon and recordings with Chenier's uncle Morris `Big' Chenier on fiddle. On other selections Chenier comes off like a miniature Count Basie Big Band (to use the late Ralph Gleason's analogy).Uncle Morris' alley fiddle-along with Chenier's distinctive singing on `Baby Please Don't Go' make this one of the best renditions of the songsuperb downhome version of `Black Snake Blues' wonderfully relaxed rendition of `Key to the Highway'classic arrangement of a blues standard with a booting saxophone solo from John Hart. So many albums are called essential, but this really is.” (Ron Weinstock — Living Blues) |
