Buckwheat Zydeco may position himself as the heir apparent, but C.J. is the scion and his apple didn't roll too far from the tree. Buckwheat certainly has a handle on traditional zydeco but C.J. is like the Hank Jr of zydeco and he not only knows the music's roots, he sees it's future. Rolling in a load of rock and r&b, quite seamlessly, this set was recorded in one take and is a party on a platter representation of what you get when you go to see what you get. Only missing the spontaneity that comes from the quirks that come with reacting with a live audience, this is all the sweaty good time you would go to Fitzgerald's or Continental Club or where ever to let bon ton roulette. Even if you aren't a genre fan, this is can't miss stuff that's sure to grab you. 08/12/11
