BHamilton Not the best CD of Zydeco I could have chosen. It is not bad just not exactly the choice of songs I would have liked.
Can't say enough about it as each song is perfect as to sound and song/ I was looking for some authentic Cajun musics with good sounds and songs. this album is it 100%.
I also like BooZoo Chavis' "Uncle Bud." For the most part, though, the Putamayo disk will keep you hopping.You may also enjoy Putamayo's LOUISIANA GUMBO which contains a variety of cajun, southern rock, and zydeco. It also has Queen Ida's "My Girl Josephine," which is a classic.Zydeco's Greatest Hits does contain some good, standard cuts like Buckwheat Zydeco's "Ya Ya," and another cut of theirs,"Turning Point," which is great. This is an enjoyable CD, but I strongly recommend you purchase Putamayo's ZYDECO instead. It contains some greats like Geno Dalfose's "Bye Bye Mon Neg" and the Creole Zydoco Farmers' "Creole Farmers Stomp," which you won't be able to SIT and listen to.
I just kinda chose this one blindly. I bought it for a work function.
Really cool for if you just want to expand your music knowledge and taste to include Zydeco music. We just played the cd over and over and by the end of the day, people were singing along and everything.
I had only heard Zydeco music in cajun resturants. It wasn't too deep so for a person like me who was only exposed to it very little, I didn't feel like "this is way over my head." My co-workers loved it too.
I good find indeed. So when I needed a zydeco cd I had no clue what to buy.
It turned out to be wonderful.
I bought two. Very enjoyable. Great upbeat music. Good representation of zydeco music.
