Lets Go! Proves to Push Zydeco Further

"On Lets Go!, singer/songwriter/accordionist Nathan Williams utilizes his contemporary Zydeco inventiveness by throwing hints of reggae, R&B, pop, and blues into the traditional Zydeco mix. Williams, a soulful baritone, progresses in this genre (once again) by throwing instantly infectious melodies at you while the rhythm section holds the groove down. You can here the bands diversity on cuts like "Everything Happens for the Best" (where hints of reggae come through) or "Hard Times" (Williams shows his natural vocal prowess with a down home blues moan). What becomes immediately apparent while listening through Lets Go! is that most of the tunes are instantly hummable and recognizable, yet they never tend to flounder after numerous listens. Nathan Williams may not be the most well known Zydeco artist, but his songwriting leaves him at the forefront amongst the seasoned vets."
