I pre-ordered the CD after catching Buck live in NYC thinking it would be a decent album. I was wrong. This is a great album and a must buy for long summer car trips, sweaty dance parties and to remind oneself that not all music comes artificially flavored. Must buy.

First, just cue up the 11th cut- Buck's Going Uptown. Invoking the late great Jimmy Smith at the start, Buck just rips the Hammond B-3 on an up-tempo funky soul infused jam. Is there any better summer music than this? Does anyone else play this stuff anymore? The only problem is the song only clocks in at 6:45. Can we have a real Jimmy Smith half-side version next time? By the way, very tasty guitar solo on this one.

After that gets you in the mood, go back to the album opener for some Grade A Prime zydeco. No clunkers here, every cut is great. Standouts for me are track 6 and 9 as well as the opener. Of course, the last three tracks with Buck on the Hammond are superb.

AWESOME!!!! If you love Buckwheat you will be happy to know that the man is BACK! This is one of his best albums, from the word go it will keep you dancing all of the way through. If you don't like this album you've got a hole in your soul! Keepin it FUNKY!!!

Just heard this cd over the weekend, amazing. This is a phenomenal cd, anyone who loves zydeco needs this one in their collection. Really gets you going and you just want to get up and dance.

This is a wonderful album.
I defy you to not wanna dance, or for you to stay in an unhappy mood while this Gumbo of Delightful sound stirs the pot. Give this one a listen.

I love this album so much I can't stop playing it (and dancing to it.) Also Check out "Trouble". Love them both. I dance in my car all the way to work!!

Many years ago (I hesitate to say how many) I saw Buckwheat perform live in Baltimore, Maryland. It was just wonderful to see Buckwheat and his talented group of musicians play live.

I own quite a few of Buckwheat Zydeco's cds and listen to the songs over and over. I have them on my MP3 player that I take to the gym every day and if you need something to keep you hopping, just listen to many of the songs.

I have purchased numerous Zydeco cds in the past, but Buckwheat remains my very favorite.
