Rockin' Sydney Lives Up To His Name!!, March 31, 2010
This review is from: Zydeco Is Fun (Audio CD)
Some purists might dismiss Rockin' Sydney. His was a Creole but he didn't speak French ( I don't think, although he occasionally sings in French) He used drum machines, a lot of it doesn't have rubboard and a lot of the songs are more pop than zydeco or blues. So what! He's great and his stuff goes way beyond My Toot Toot. Check out Harlem Shuffle. Pretty great. He does the waltzes and rockers and everything in between. The ultimate DIY man. Recorded in his garage and started his own entertainment park. He plays all the instruments himself on his first record. If you are a zydeco purist you might not get into it especially with all the drum machine but I think it only adds to the Rockin.
