VA • Zydeco Champs



Review by Steve Leggett
This generous 22-track sampler of Louisiana zydeco stompers recorded over the years for Chris Strachwitz's Arhoolie Records imprint has more dance energy than a barrel of caffeine-injected monkeys, kicking off with the great Clifton Chenier's "Josephine Par Se Ma Femme" and never really letting up for the duration of the disc. Chenier's bluesy, haunting version of "Black Gal" is a clear highlight.

Reseña de Steve Leggett
Este generoso muestrario de 22 pistas de zydeco de Luisiana grabadas a lo largo de los años para el sello Arhoolie Records de Chris Strachwitz tiene más energía de baile que un barril de monos inyectados de cafeína, comenzando con el gran Clifton Chenier "Josephine Par Se Ma Femme" y nunca se detiene en la duración del disco. La versión de Chenier de "Black Gal", con su toque de blues, es un claro punto culminante.
