I must totally disagree with Mr. Kline's opinion, not only of this album, but of zydeco music as well. It may not be Bach or Verdi, but it does get your toes tapping. Zydeco, like a good gumbo, is a mixture of many different influences and flavors and so is this album. Everything from slow ballads to swinging dance numbers, this album has it. Nevermind that you can't understand a word being sung, you just can't feel sad when you hear zydeco music. Like the Blues and Jazz it is truly a native form of music indigenous to the US.

Bought this for my brother. The selections on this CD are great. If you like cajun music then this is the one to get.

As a professional music reviewer, I would steer clear of this CD as if were the plague. There are millions upon millions of excellent albums available of all Genres, why waste time with Cajun. This is simply Louisiana swamp muck. If you are not familiar with this type of music, pat yourself on the back and feel lucky, this music is a bad, bad experience for the ears. I cannot stress this enough. This music has no merit and I fear for your taste if you persue the purchase of this stinker. - RC
