Going strong before hitting the big time ! ! !,
This review is from: Waitin' For My Ya-Ya (Audio CD)
Recorded a bit before the big ZYDECO break through (remember that era with Paul Simon's Graceland and Queen Ida ?) as well as Buckwheat's own breathrough touring with the likes of Eric Clapton, this album has Dural hitting hard and strong, playing a very different type of Zydeco than the world's ever heard before... one in which the blues, R & B and memphis soul mix isn't merely hinted at in the mix, but thrown in your face. - - de-"ruralized" Zydeco taken in an amazing different direction than most of the zydeco of the time. Slick, tight, unpretentious and un-"commercially" cajun creole (something that Dural apparent takes pleasure in... celebrating, but not exploiting his own culture !) it is neither B.B. Kingified Cajun in the tradition of the legends (Chenier and disciple Rockin' Dopsie) nor country or tex mex (in the tradition of such breakthrough groups as Beausoliel and Los Lobos) - - Instead, Buckwheat's music takes elements of traditional zydeco (accordian, washboard, some of the rhythmic syncopations) and puts a mix that would please any fan of Wilson Pickett or the Blues Brothers on the spot. - - This CD, recorded almost 20 years ago shows that Dural had the formula down right well before breaking through, and his recent recordings have shown that he's got back with it. This is one of my favorite Buckwheat Zydeco CDs and represents the birth of a new type of soul, blues and Zydeco right under a party master's healm !

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Waitin' For My Ya-Ya (Audio CD)
Once I recieved it I was pleased, unfortunately there was some difficulty in the ordering, I also ordered some other items and somehow it all got split up. I ended up just getting 2 items and they were done as 2 different orders and this one came later. I ordered it to take to a concert we were driving 10 hours to see and unfortunately it did not make it in time but the other item which was not for the concert did.
