My obsession with Buckwheat Zydeco

[Nevernose]

Every time I start drankin', I start listenin' to Buckwheat Zydeco. Due to the tragic loss of my CD collection (and recent reconsideration of my sobriety -- both events are quite possibly related), I have recently ordered $100 of worth of Buckwheat Zydeco albums.

So, how 'bout it: is popular Zydeco the finest musical achievement of mankind or not?

1. Not

but it's really catchy.

2. Lisa Haley and the Zydecats

For me it doesn’t get any better than Lisa Haley and the Zydecats, I love her---and her music too.

4. Speaking of amateurs..

It’ll be a hollow victory Argumentus, I already been hurt by Skinner,

5. Clifton Chenier was the King of Zydeco

He helped invent "modern" zydeco--here in Houston. Played it in the Frenchtown clubs to other homesick folks from Louisiana who'd come to Big Houston for work. I heard him many times back in the day.

But he's been gone for a while & it's great that the music continues.

6. He's playing in Vegas

In three weeks. I've already got a babysitter, a date, and a bottle of scotch. Cajun/Zydeco week at the Fremont Experience is one of the many (drunken) highlights of my year.
