It is now one of my top all-time favorites and I have a large collection of all types of music- rock, classical, country, pop, jazz, but blues is my favorite and this cd is not just a listen, it's an experience. Being new to zydeco music, before ordering, I read the reviews which all seemed favorable. I've found that this cd is like a who's who of zydeco.
Great for a crawfish boil or Mardis Gras parties. I LOVE this mix. Awesome. Takes me back to New Orleans and the Bayou.
Make your first listen on good equipment with the volume turned up a little and you'll be hooked.Whether or not you know already know zydeco, BUY THIS CD. (It is not brassy New Orleans rhythem and blues).This collection is the cream of the crop. If you've got a rock 'n roll heart, you need to check this out. I have a few zydeco CD's, and this one is far and away my favorite. You'll like this one and I'm very confident in the recommendation. If you're not familiar, then no need for a song by song description either, but I'll simply describe zydeco as "happy music" (there are blues tunes in the mix) with cajun roots in the rural Louisiana swamplands. Hardly a song in the bunch that I can't enjoy again and again.If you are familiar with zydeco music, you can read Amazon's song list above and there's no need for me to rehash it. It's from the heart and has a definite rock flavor.
I am sure there are many more great songs that are not on the album. It is a good intro to zydecco. That is never the intent of Putamayo CDs. I own a nubmer of Putamayo CDs. This is one of my favorites.
Being a native.this is truly the heartbeat of the Cresent City. Listening to this music makes me want to be down in the Quarter, stopping to eat crawfish, drink an Amber Light and soak in the soul that is N'Awlins.
