Album Review

Menagerie: The Essential Zydeco Collection collects highlights from Buckwheat Zydeco's three albums for Island Records between 1987 and 1990. There are a number of really good songs here ("Ma 'T*t Fille," "Hey Good Lookin'," "Where There's Smoke There's Fire"), and the compilation actually distills his uneven Island albums into a strong single-disc collection. However, if you're looking for Buckwheat at his best, stick to the Rounder and Black Top releases.

WOW

This is the most popular danceing at the dance with all of them. It is a fun to listen to and boogy with a partner. We also play this CD at the Camden snowbowl terrain park for the public to injoy as well. Keep it up Buckwheat!!

When I was around two or three years old, My dad used to play this album for my sister and I, and we'd run around the living room dancing wildly. I just found it in my basement last night and was surprised because I hadn't heard it for twelve years but could remember every song. It's funny, I guess I just couldn't forget that album after all this time. Huh. Anyways, It's a great album, and every song is jubilant and crazy. I miss Zydeco.

Dural was born in Lafayette,...
