Manufacturer Description

The spiciest zydeco tracks from Buckwheat's Island, Rounder, Paula and Black Top albums! Includes I Bought a Raccoon; Bim Bam Thank You Mam; Buck's Hot Rod; Zydeco Boogaloo; Ya Ya; Hot Tamale Baby; Why Does Love Gotta Be So Sad (Eric Clapton on guitar); Hey Good Lookin' (with Dwight Yoakam), and more.

Thank Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural and his group Buckwheat Zydeco for the many contemporary zydeco releases now available. It was Buckwheat's major-label breakthrough record, On a Night Like This, that brought this rural Louisiana dance music into the mainstream, at least for a time, and his zesty repertoire that won new legions of fans. His accordion prowess also liberated the instrument from its polka-band image. This excellent collection traces Buckwheat's trajectory from 1979 to 1988, peaking with his rollicking accordion-powered party poppers "Ma 'Tit Fille" and "Zydeco Honky Tonk." His roots are covered, too, with zydeco pioneer Clifton Chenier's "Hot Tamale Baby" and rural-themed numbers like "I Bought a New Raccoon." There's also his collaboration with Eric Clapton--E.C. reprising the ripping solo of his "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad." But with Buckwheat, love's rarely sad. His deliciously uptempo, two-stepping blend of swamp-funk, rock, and R&B is a tonic for misery of any kind. --Ted Drozdowski
