"Boozoo's music is really lively and keeps me going through the day. This CD is for people who REALLY like all types of music. There's a little bit of everything here: James Brown, Tina Turner, Miles Davis, Charley Pride, with a bit of gospel and reggae. I like all of the songs on the CD, but my favorites are: "Johnnie Billy Goat," "Grand Mary's Two Step" and "Tee Black.""

Zydeco bands are best experienced live.

"zydeco bands are best experienced live.

well they are REALLY best if you are there and dancing.

you can certainly dance to this.

oh my god.

boozoo and the boys were on fire.

it was actually part of a 'zydeco showdown' between boozoo

and his real life friend beau jocque.

[beau's side was also released as 'give him cornbread - live'.

boo and beau are both gone now, sadly...]

anyway, boozoo was stomping, the band was burning, this

is simply a great dance record, a great summary

of modern old-fashioned zydeco.

[this is largely NOT blues based, it;s based on

older, french tune, influences from the past]

anyway, essential boozoo.
