Now that summer is finally heating up along with the charcoal and gas grills, you might want to throw a Zydeco party-hell, why not? Pick up the right spices, a pile of shrimp, catfish (make sure to blacken the cats!), and chicken; it's party time! Now, if you don't know how to cook it up Cajun; invite me-or better yet-search the web for recipes and lie to all your guests. The one thing you can't screw-up is the drinks, alcohol or non, it doesn't matter. Of course, you'll need the music and you may as well go to the top of the shelf; "The King of Zydeco," Mr. Clifton Chenier. That's right, another wonderful mid-priced CD from the Arhoolie series. A great mix of authenic Cajun blues with killer covers: Rosemary / Fats Domino, Worried Life Blues (Someday Baby) / Big Maceo Merriweather, and he even tackles Glen Miller's "In The Mood!" Man, you got to here him; the Miller classic is worth the price of the disc-Clifton live! Keep the coals burning and pick this one up.
