Cajun & Zydeco Classics

by Cajun & Zydeco Classics / Vario

Overview

Cajun & Zydeco Classics is an excellent budget-line sampler of some of the biggest names in contemporary Cajun music, including Buckwheat Zydeco, Rockin' Sidney, Boozoo Chavis, Beausoleil, and Queen Ida. Although the disc is brief, there are no weak tracks on the compilation and it offers a terrific introduction to the musical genre. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
