The Sweetheart Throws Down Again!, March 11, 2007
This review is from: Show Me Something (Audio CD)
In a world dominated by the likes of Keith Frank, Boozoo Chavis, and Rockin' Dopsie, Rosie Ledet has solidified her place in Zydeco music. With "Show Me Something," Ledet gives the listener everything they can handle and more. There's the pure party tracks such as the title track and "Get Your Dance On" and then there's the bluesy, Creole soul found in songs like "Zydeco For A Living" and "Days Gone By." Where Rosie works best is in her sultry, sexy, and sometimes dirty tunes like the blistering cover of "Lady Marmalade," "For Your Love," "Set My Soul On Fire" and the wonderful "Open Invitation." My personal favorite track on this album is "All Part Of The Game."
If you're looking for straight ahead, party time Zydeco, Rosie Ledet is the lady you need. If you've never heard Zydeco before, start right here with "Show Me Something." From there, take on the aforementioned players like Frank and then explore the history of Creole and Zydeco music with Canray Fontenot and Amedie Ardoin.
Highly recommended.
