Clifton Chenier • Bayou Blues

 



Review by Thom Owens
Bayou Blues compiles a selection of 12 tracks Clifton Chenier cut for Specialty Records in 1955, including the original versions of "Boppin' the Rock," "Eh, Petite Fille," "I'm On My Way" and "Zodico Stomp."  It may not be a definitive retrospective, but it's an entertaining and necessary sampler of Chenier at the beginning of his career -
