Silverlined

CD-Charts > Music > Cajun and Zydeco
by: Donna the Buffalo

Release Date July 08, 2008
It seems very rare over the past few decades that any group actually is able to follow-up a great album with another great one, but DTB has pulled it off. Not to mention that they are making music in a niche that they more or less created.

I've listened to the album a few times already and I'm still not sure I'm ready to say that it's better than the last album, Life's a Ride, but I have a feeling I will eventually rank this album higher. This album is produced almost to perfection - there are a few background vocals I could do without but no major complaints there. With 13 songs on the album I can honestly say there is not a bad song on the album (Jeb pushes the limits with his songwriting, and even with his singing on "Blue Eyes" ... Read More:

Homemade Songs

CD-Charts > Music > Cajun and Zydeco
by: Bobby Charles

Release Date May 20, 2008
The temptation here is to use all sorts of Swamp/Americana cliches extolling what a great CD this is ("a modern swamp classic,etc."). Instead, as one who would buy a CD of Bobby singing his tax-returns, I will say, go out and buy this album now!!! You'll dig it.

Zydeco

CD-Charts > Music > Cajun and Zydeco
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 25, 2000
I have a few zydeco CD's, and this one is far and away my favorite. 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. 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. It's from the heart and has a definite rock flavor. (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. Make your first listen on good equipment with the volume ... Read More:

The Big Easy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Cajun and Zydeco
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 01, 1991
The problem is in the billing.
This is the second time that I have ordered an item and gotton two copies-clearly I am doing somehting wrong. but as a doctor, I am quite capable of doing things correctly-so, what I have come away from this second experience is -don't order from Amazon.
I then ordered a breadmaker and the order went to 'one stop shopping' a (which it was) and utilized a card that I have purposely cancelled with a leter (Amazon Visa?)-again -it is just not worth the time to follow your instructioins and correft it though I have never, to my knowledge, in the last year used that card-and dropped the order.

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. BHamilton

After visiting New Orleans recently I have tried to help the area in any way I can. Buying this great cd with loads of great tunes is one small way I can help, and it is so worth it, the music is fabulous!!

The Ultimate Collection

by: Buckwheat Zydeco

Release Date July 18, 2000
You can always find 1 or 2 songs that you wanted to have on any "collection" Cd. This one is also in that class due to the amount songs in his career. However with the selection you get there is so much to enjoy. I can feel Burbon Street from my car here in Jersey.

The Very Best of the Meters

CD-Charts > Music > Cajun and Zydeco
by: The Meters

Release Date June 10, 1997
Funky, Funky, Funky. These brothers are on another level. I see bands all around NYC and around the world trying to play Cissy Strut. It's scary how humble beginnings can foster into such great funk. The drummer, Joseph Ziggy Modeliste is funky beyond recognition. The Meters are in the same catagory as James Brown's JBs.

Excellent intro to cajun songs or a good addition to a mardi-gras party . They have lively and upbeat music with one of my favorite:"travailler c'est trop dur".
