Although he plays well and I'm sure it'd be fun in the dancehall, he and most of his young peers have lost what I see as the heart and roots of zydeco -- Creole traditional music, in French. *sigh* CHARIVARI - Je m'ennuie à soir (I'm Lonely Tonight) [I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU/Rounder] BEAU JOCQUE & THE ZYDECO HI-ROLLERS - Beau Jocque Boogie [GIVE HIM CORNBREAD, LIVE!/Rounder] SCOTT DUNBAR - Memphis Mail [FROM LAKE MARY/Fat Possum] CANNON'S JUG STOMPERS - Bring It With You When You Come [RUCKUS JUICE & CHITLINS, VOL. 2/Yazoo] LOUIS ARMSTRONG & THE HOT FIVES - Heebie Jeebies [THE HOT FIVES, VOL. 1/Columbia] Quite possibly the greatest conglomeration of musicians in the history of jazz -- Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, Johnny Dodds, Johnny St. Cyr LLAN DE CUBEL - Cabraliega [LLAN DU CUBEL IV/Fono Astur] MATTO CONGRIO - Matt Molloy's Muñiera [MATTO CONGRIO/Lyricon] AUBREY HAYNIE with TIM O'BRIEN - The Butcher Boy [A MAN MUST CARRY ON/ Sugar Hill] TOM, BRAD & ALICE - When Sorrows Encompass Me Round [BEEN THERE STILL/ Copper Creek] That's Tom Sauber, Brad Leftwich and Alice Gerrard, of course.
