About Live At Slim's Y-Ki-Ki
Amazon.com Keith Frank is arguably the reigning king of the zydeco circuit, his simple, throbbing style derived from Boozoo Chavis. His music is often described as trance inducing, which may be overstating the case somewhat, but it is repetitive in the best sense; the songs are short and to the point, and the beat (even more than the accordion) is everything. This is unequivocal dance music, recorded in one of south Louisiana's premier dance halls. Frank plays fat, harmonica- or horn-like lines, each note so carefully chosen it can't help but stand out, but a track like "Why You Wanna Make Me Cry?" displays considerable dexterity. He's very much in the zydeco tradition, yet also squarely in the here and now, tossing off pop-culture allusions to television theme songs, patriotic anthems, classic rock hits, and consumer products, such as the toothpastes he plugs in the playful, even slightly ludicrous, "Hey Pretty Baby (With Your Teeth So White)." --John Morthland Product Description Zydeco music continues to be a growing phenomenon across the country and Keith Frank sits at the top. Frank is apart of the "new wave" of zydeco with it's high energy and hip-hop inflected sound. This live recording captures the essence of Frank's live shows, featued here are hot versions of several of his best known tunes as well as some previoulsy unrecorded songs.
