I bought Buckwheat's Zydeco Party back in 1988 and have enjoyed listening to it on a regular basis ever since. Not really totally Zydeco in the traditional sense, Buckwheat's alblum combines the best qualities of New Orleans Zydeco, R&B,and soul music.

Buckwheat is a virtuoso on the accordian, but he also has a great voice. His backup band has just the right touches of horns and drums to fill out the jams and really make them a pleasure to listen to.

Great, fun and danceable alblum that features exceptional clean production touches. At times the pace of some songs becomes so frantic ("Zydeco Boogie" and "Tutti Frutti", for example) that you just start smiling and tapping your toes. It should compel even the most staid music listener to get up and dance.

I wholeheartedly endorse it. Go buy it!

This is the perfect "album" for both estalished Zydeco lovers and folks who just want to see what this music is like. The infectious beats, the instruments, the lyrics, all make this music to get you dancing (even if it is just in your chair at work). Try it, you'll like it.

This is very up tempo with a lot of remakes of old standards. Very good overall.
