"Geno Delafose can do no wrong, well... maybe he can, but if so, I've never heard it! This album is yet another testament to his high-quality playing, singing and raw energy.
Geno is the son of zydeco legend John Delafose, but nepotism was not a factor in making Geno famous: he is a living legend in his own right.
Unlike many of the popular stars in the zydeco movement today, who play essentially hip-hop with an accordion, Geno keeps one foot planted firmly in the past, singing many of his songs in French and playing with more traditional Zydeco rhythms. It's still fresh, though, and consistently so.
Pick up this album, you'll be glad you did."

"All Geno Delafose's recordings are excellent, but this is his best effort. The musicians are tight yet exuberant, and the added treat of Michael Doucet's fiddle to several tracks makes for an exceptional musical experience. This is the most high-energy, incredibly danceable Zydeco album around. If this music doesn't get you off your duff and on your feet, nothing will!!!"

"I saw Geno at a Cajun festival and just absolutely fell in love. The Stetson and the smile and his mix of music was amazing and oh so entertaining. I could have easily sat there for hours listening to him. So without the real thing... this is as close as I can get for now. The tempo is upbeat and the music is so fresh. The waltzes are a wonderful change of pace from contemporary music (top 40/adult rock. This CD is the first I have bought of his but I will have them ALL very soon!!! Great investment!!!"

"I love the traditional roots of this album. It is unusual to see a young performer still honoring his Creole roots and singing in French. The Sam Cooke cover is as sweet as the original."
