Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Rounder has released some prime examples of contemporary zydeco, as this release from Beau Jocque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers makes evident. Beau Jocque and company pound out some high-energy music here. This is not meant for relaxed listening; this is party music. Good-time classic "Keep a Knockin'" is given the full treatment, including a killer Hammond B3 solo. "Slide and Dip It" comes in two mixes: one zydeco and one "party dip." Both are guaranteed to get your house rocking. "Going Down to the Country," on the other hand, is a raw swamp blues while "She Wants to Sell My Monkey" is all but indescribable. Top these off with an outrageous cover of funk standard "Tighten Up" and you have a nonstop winner. These guys put the "Z" in zydeco! --Lars Gandil

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gret Late Beau Lays It All Down Here, October 27, 2000
By Jeff Sampson (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This is a great recording- the accordian stopping and starting, wheezing and jumping, Beau growling it out while "skeeta" pays him constant homage in the reply. Get up and dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jocque Rhymes With "Rock", July 2, 2000
By Dick Meyers (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
You don't have to like Zydeco to like this CD. Beau's deep, gritty voice, a pounding bass, infectious enthusiasm, and good material combine to produce a winner. Check out the bluesy "What You Gonna Do" and "Going to the Country," a smooth remake of Archie Bell's "Tighten Up," and the up-tempo "Why You Wanna Make Me Crazy?" This band has fun making music; you'll have fun listening to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, high energy music., February 21, 1999
By A Customer
I like Zydeco but this album is truly wonderful. It immediately became one of top ten favorite albums and continues to amaze me. I consider this band a well kept secret waiting to be discovered by the general public. Everyone who has heard it loves it. The quality is consistent through the whole album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Modern Zydeco
Jocque and the boys (the Hi-Rollers) really give it up on this album. Lots of foot stomping hi-numbers as well as a few slower tempo songs. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Downright Stanky
This recording just gives it up- heaping portions of steaming funk; look up the word "syncopation" in the dictionary and there is a tiny picture of this band. Read more
Published on October 23, 2000 by Jeff Sampson

4.0 out of 5 stars Jacque is sort of a "Ray Charles" of swampy Zydeco.
I love this big guy's renderings of day-to-day themes. Not a Pavarotti, but an honest practioner of 'lusianne' folk music. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Beau Jocque is the king of funky zydeco
Wonderful
