Various Artists - Zydeco's Greatest Hits

Zydeco CD

Not the best CD of Zydeco I could have chosen. It is not bad just not exactly the choice of songs I would have liked. BHamilton July 21, 2008

Fantastics Cajun Songs that are sung in Cajun!!

I was looking for some authentic Cajun musics with good sounds and songs. this album is it 100%. Can't say enough about it as each song is perfect as to sound and song/ April 20, 2008

Good But Not Great

This is an enjoyable CD, but I strongly recommend you purchase Putamayo's ZYDECO instead. It contains some greats like Geno Dalfose's "Bye Bye Mon Neg" and the Creole Zydoco Farmers' "Creole Farmers Stomp," which you won't be able to SIT and listen to. It also has Queen Ida's "My Girl Josephine," which is a classic.

Zydeco's Greatest Hits does contain some good, standard cuts like Buckwheat Zydeco's "Ya Ya," and another cut of theirs,"Turning Point," which is great. I also like BooZoo Chavis' "Uncle Bud." For the most part, though, the Putamayo disk will keep you hopping.

You may also enjoy Putamayo's LOUISIANA GUMBO which contains a variety of cajun, southern rock, and zydeco. May 22, 2007

Good for a new Zydeco Fan

I had only heard Zydeco music in cajun resturants. So when I needed a zydeco cd I had no clue what to buy. I just kinda chose this one blindly. It turned out to be wonderful! It wasn't too deep so for a person like me who was only exposed to it very little, I didn't feel like "this is way over my head!" My co-workers loved it too. I bought it for a work function. We just played the cd over and over and by the end of the day, people were singing along and everything. Really cool for if you just want to expand your music knowledge and taste to include Zydeco music. I good find indeed! March 9, 2007
