Comment:

Over the years, zydeco and Cajun music have evolved in a dozen directions at once, picking up pieces of other styles and expanding on their own traditions. So what are these Louisiana sounds all about, anyway? Well, they’re about the rough-and-ready Hackberry Ramblers, the longest-running Cajun band, sawing, stomping, and wailing away on “Crowley Waltz.” They’re about Buckwheat Zydeco busting into the mainstream but still keeping the faith with his freight-train boogie beat on “Zydeco La Louisianne.” And they’re about Wayne Toups taking things a few steps forward, by blending it all with rock ’n’ roll for a fiery “zydecajun” sound on “Going Back to Big Mamou.”
