A fine example of Zydeco at its best. It's uplifting and I can't get enough of it! I'm sharing it at our BBQ this weekend.

A Good Collection, September 29, 2011

During a trip to New Orleans several years ago, I became smitten with Zydeco music. After you've seen a Zydeco band in a bar on Bourbon Street, it's hard not to. The music is so much fun, listening to it just lifts my spirits. I purchased a couple of Zydeco CDs while I was in New Orleans, but I just didn't like them that much, so they just collect dust. Therefore, I wanted to see if I could find another CD that would recapture the feeling I had the first time I heard Zydeco. I took a chance on this CD because it was a compilation and I'd be exposed to several different groups. I've been very pleased with my purchase! If you're into Zydeco music or you just want to be exposed to something different, this is the CD for you. You won't be disappointed.

I bought this album for out of town friends to introduce them to ZYDECO and was very pleased.
