Summary: Don't know much about zydeco... 2006-03-28
Comment: I only lived in New Orleans for a year, but this album was given to me long before I moved there. As the title states, I don't know much about zydeco, but having visited many a festival, I can say that I like the sound on this album better than nearly anything I've heard. Someone mentioned something about it being blues...perhaps that is why. Some of the zydeco played at festivals these days sounds more like country or oldies (3/4/waltz timing I suppose). I knew this was a gem when for my bachelorette party we went to the Rock n' Bowl and a decent zydeco band was there and they played half of the songs from this CD...
I think this is a great album to introduce yourself to zydeco...whether you turn out to be a fan of the genre, you will be sure to be a fan of this one.

Summary: I Don't Know Why 2005-02-02
Comment: I like Clifton Chenier better when I can't understand him, but I do. I can understand him the least on this album, so it's my favorite. If you like good accordian blues you can't understand, and you can't speak cajun french, then this is the CD for you.

Summary: Classic Clifton Chenier 2000-06-25
Comment: Chenier performed and recorded a lot of his music in Cajun French. This is one such recording. Please do not let any language barrier put you off. This is vintage Clifton Chenier, robust, rythmic, pulsating, guaranteed to lift you off your seat and send you perambulating into the night. "Blues De Ma Negress," the second song on the CD, is classic, lilting Zydeco. You don't have to know the lyrics to understand the intent. It's pure Cajun Blues. I actually prefer the classic Cajun-French Zydeco to the "homogenized" brand. It seems purer and more authentic, even though I understand only about a quarter of the lyrics. "J'Ai Conet, C'Est Pas Ma Femme" has a particularly personal meaning for me these days. If you want to hear a down-home, Bayou version of one of the only truly indigenous brands of American Jazz left on the planet, give this recording a try.
