Any Zydeco recommendations?

I recently drove from New Orleans to Monroe, La., and was reminded of this music on the rental car radio. I'd like to explore music in this style. Please give me some help with material that is available- I particularly like live recordings.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Michael, I am from Lafayette, the Cajun/Zydeco capital! I would sugget the following:

Clifton Cheinier
Beau Jacques
Keith Frank
Chubby Carrier
Terrance Siemen
Buckwheat Zydeco

You can't go wrong with any of those!

Steve Riley is a Cajun musician, not zydeco.

I have a great recommendation for this! A band called "Coteau", featuring Michael Doucet of the band Bea Soleil. They are referred to as the "Cajun Grateful Dead". The CD is called "Highly Seasoned Cajun Music". Great, great music!!
