Buckwheat Zydeco • On a Night Like This

Review by Adam Greenberg

A relatively basic album of party-based zydeco from the heir apparent to the throne after the death of Clifton Chenier. The nice thing about Buckwheat Zydeco's (Stanley Dural's) albums is the broader diversity that he uses as far as the compositions are concerned. Along with his own compositions on this album are bits from Booker T ("Time Is Tight"), the Blasters ("Marie Marie"), and Bob Dylan ("On a Night Like This"). To accompany his own band, a portion of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band fills in on horns throughout the album, much to the credit of the finished sound. The album is jumping, just the way it's supposed to. This is certainly one of Buckwheat's best albums, right in with Where There's Smoke, There's Fire. Pick it up for a high energy album of Louisiana's party music.

Reseña de Adam Greenberg

Un álbum relativamente básico de zydeco de fiesta del heredero aparente al trono después de la muerte de Clifton Chenier. Lo bueno de los álbumes de Buckwheat Zydeco (Stanley Dural) es la mayor diversidad que utiliza en cuanto a las composiciones. Junto con sus propias composiciones en este álbum hay trozos de Booker T ("Time Is Tight"), los Blasters ("Marie Marie"), y Bob Dylan ("On a Night Like This"). Para acompañar a su propia banda, una parte de la Dirty Dozen Brass Band se llena de trompetas a lo largo del álbum, en gran parte gracias al sonido final. El álbum está saltando, justo como se supone que debe hacerlo. Este es ciertamente uno de los mejores álbumes de Buckwheat, junto con "Where There's Smoke, There's Fire". Recójanlo para un álbum de alta energía de música festiva de Louisiana.
