REVIEW “Not that I'd ever try to underrate Chenier's Cajun and Zydeco music, far from it, but I have to admit that I've always had a slight preference for his more bluesy material, to me this just has that slight edge. No-one I've ever heard quite played blues accordion like him he just had a unique sound. Chris Strachwitz correctly pushed Clifton's Zydeco recordings, however the performances presented on this CD, made up of twelve tracks produced by Roy Ames in Houston in 1969, and seven produced by Chris himself in New Orleans in 1977, lean consciously to the bluesy end of Clifton's musical repertoire, and were previously out on Arhoolie LPs 1097 and 1078 (the twelve Ames' tracks were also out on Prophesy and Home Cooking). The Houston tracks feature just rhythm accompaniment, whereas the New Orleans sides also have John Hart on tenor sax and Buckwheat Dural on piano and organ, and give a definitely fuller sound. There are a number of covers in the Texas recordings, but as usual Clifton was able to give his own interpretation to them. I especially like his versions of `Rosemary' and `Worried Life Blues,' and he sings `Paper' in both English and French. The New Orleans recordings are especially fine.”(Byron Foulger — Blues & Rhythm) |
