5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Original, October 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Snake Bite Love (Audio CD)

Heard two tracks on the local FM album station and went out to buy the CD. The voice and the lyrics were mesmerizing.

Couldn't find the CD--Zachary Richard was listed under "foreign language," and even Rasputin's in Berkeley didn't carry the CD. I sent a fax to the radio station, and next thing I knew, I had the record company calling, thanking me for letting me know that "marketing" was a problem. A pity--this is a truly great album.

Friends who don't like "Cajun music" like this one, and those who do love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff!, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Snake Bite Love (Audio CD)

This is zydeco that leans heavily on traditional Rock'n Roll. I first saw Zachary Richard on stage with Jimmy Buffett at a concert I attended. I was impressed, and proceeded to buy the first recording of his music that I could find. I was lucky that this was the one. I have since bought other albums, and though I like them as well, this is the best. From the rocking title track to the soulful Cote Blanche Bay and on & on this album is one of my favorites. It isn't pure Zydeco, but it is GOOD!

This disc is so good it makes you want to cry. Until Zachary Richard, Cajun music was stuck in a rut. He takes the Cajun basics, adds a little Rock 'N Roll spice, and produces something new, unique and beautiful. To date, he has never again risen to this level.
