Product Description A hefty serving of upbeat bayou boogie! The CD includes detailed liner notes and artist photos. Featuring The Creole Zydeco Farmers, Keith Frank & The Soileu Zydeco Band, Rosie Ledet, Beau Jocque, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, Boozoo Chavis, Queen Ida & Her Zydeco Band, Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, Geno Delafose and Chris Ardoin & Double Clutchin'. Review The feel and energy of a zydeco performance doesn't necessarily come across in the studio, and few of today's performers are particularly impressive songwriters. Fortunately, Putumayo has sought out some of the better recent zydeco recordings, and this compilation is as solid a selection as any. From well-known performers who have passed on, such as Clifton Chenier and Beau Jocque, to current stars such as Keith Frank and Boozoo Chavis, the music is remarkably consistent, with tracks by Rosie Ledet and Buckwheat Zydeco that are as good as zydeco gets. --
