My introduction to zydeco
And it couldn't have been better. I caught Beau Jocque in a Louisiana dancehall (Richard's Club) as his career was on the rise, and I was blown away. He reached back for the traditional, pre-R&B zydeco, especially influenced by Boozoo Chavis, but also with a noticeable modern hip-hop influence (on other albums, he occasionally throws in some turntable scratching!). BJ died much too young, at the zenith of his career; if you want to understand what made him a brief but white-hot sensation in the Creole dancehalls, let this album kick you in the head.
Geez Louise
If this album doesn't get you up and moving, check your pulse cause your dead. Uh huh.
Jumpin'!
I was lucky enough to catch Beau Jocque at the New Orleans JazzFest in the late 90's. Never had heard of zydeco before, and it was instant love. Had to get up and dance. Their music adds funk, heavy bass lines, and blues and energy to the traditional zydeco sound. Perfect for the dance hall - you'll never sit down.
