Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Over the last few years, most of the zydeco news has been focused on the younger bands--the musicians ready to take up where Clifton Chenier left off. While this was going on, though, Boozoo Chavis, an old-timer who started recording before most of the newcomers were born, made an end run around all the youngsters and became zydeco's main man on the Texas-Louisiana circuit in 1990. This album collects Chavis's early recordings, made between with mid-'50s and early '60s for Louisiana's Goldband label. Without question, these are among the most raw sounding--and among the most bizarre--performances ever to make it onto tape, but they're also refreshingly personal and spontaneous.

Review

Fourteen primitive sides made by zydeco cofounder Wilson "Boozoo" Chavis some time between 1955 and 1960 for Gold- band, the shoestring-budget Louisiana record company responsible for irking him into retirement for nearly three decades. The accordionist's zydeco grill sauce consists of cayenne pepper, Creole mustard, and country and western and blues seasonings. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore Louie Louie's review
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2008
    Having had the privelege of attending a Boozoo Chavis concert in Los Angelehell around 1988-89, thanks to Chuck Taggart of KCRW, where my late Angel-Bride Margie and I (both of us totally blind) were both loving embraced by the Louisianians at the Catholic high school hosting this food and music frolic, this is the first album I'm going to buy... It was Boozoo's beginning, where the more polished sounds and all the redone recordings of this period sprang from... To call this weird because of the recording quality, or more overt rock-a-billy, blues, country, and Cajun influences are so clearly evident is like trashing Elvis' early Sun recordings, or the "Million Dollar Quartette" where so much of his, Jerry Lee's and Carl Perkins musical influences are evidenced. It's like trashing the Beatles Star Club recordings for their rawness in performance and audio quality. Educational and honest unpolished and perhaps even characterizable as primitive--yes, weird, non-sense!

    2.0 out of 5 stars a lot weird.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2006
    this one is a little weird.

    no, a lot weird.

    i;d say, only get this if you have EVERY other record

    boozoo made.

    it;s not the modern sound.

    there are a lot of reasons why.

    but see my other reviews..
