Any Zydeco recommendations?

Thanks Audiohorn. I will start hunting locally then hit the internet merchants if necessary.

Thanks Roger- I am always drawn to the live recordings.

Say Audiohorn, I should been more inclusive in my question. Do you have any recommendations of work by Cajun musicians to add to your first post?

Just a thanks to all of you. I have purchased works by all of the artists mentioned and am enjoying them all. This takes me out of a rut.

Here is a true "small world" story. This afternoon, a rather sophisticated looking young woman who works for a snotty architectural firm came to our Miami, Florida office for a consultation. Shortly after she began her presentation in the office next to mine, the Putumayo Zydeco CD I ordered arrived in the mail. Being a dedicated worker,I immediately put it in my computer and gave it a good listen on the four speaker / subwoofer setup.

Instead of immediately leaving, she lingered until everyone dispersed and told me she liked the music. As I am now a so called expert, I told her it was Zydeco, and she laughingly replied that she was familiar with the artists-turns out she is a Cajun from Lafayette.

How about that!

She recommended the Grant Street Dance Hall in Lafayette. I will give it a visit soon.

Paulwp-

I say Rosie Ledet is raw, refined, rough, and sweet in one jamming package.

I really appreciate artists, like her, who don't remind me of another artist.

She is on the list of acquisitions for the month of January!
