Synopsis

Amazon.com
No false modesty holds Boozoo Chavis back on his new album, "Hey Do Right!" The zydeco legend titles one lazy, hypnotic groove, "Message from the Master," declaring that all the young musicians "want to put me in the pasture, but I want them to know one thing, I'm still the master." On the hard-driving two-step, "What You Gonna Do," he immodestly asks how the zydeco scene will cope once he's gone. Chavis doesn't have the virtuosity of some of his protegees, but there's something ancient, African, and authentic about his hypnotic accordion riffs and uncompromising growl. NRBQ keyboardist and longtime fan Terry Adams produced the album and encouraged Chavis to show off his harmonica skills on "Jump the Boogie," his 12-bar roots on "Mother's Blues" and his knack for witty insults on "You're Gonna Look Like a Monkey." --Geoffrey Himes
