Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

On his initial crossover gambit, the leader's squeezebox launches riffs while washboard, rhythm guitar, bass, and drums thunder dance grooves with the subtlety of a drunken rhino tripping the light fantastic. Blame the big record company for the mix. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

I love the fact that the title song was written by Bob Dylan. Buckwheat does a great job on this album, exploring Zydeco in all of its richness. My favorite cuts are Hot Tamale Baby, Marie Marie (also done by the Blasters), and Space Zydeco. The other cuts are good as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buckwhaet kicks it up a notch!, October 22, 1999

Buckwheat's catchy cajun riffs and sharp lyrics will definetly get your mojo working. A solid album from front to back with some cool/funky instrumentals thrown in the mix. The one and only zydeco album that I ever wanted to steal from my old roommate.
