Any Zydeco recommendations?

Yep!! I also own that Putomayo Zydeco cd and I absolutely LOVE it.

I have about 8 Putomayo CDs so far and I love every one of them. Some of the best CDs I've ever heard. Can't wait to get some more.

The Jamaica and Reggae Around the World CD are probably my favorites. :)

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!

Ultimate Zydeco a collection from Mardi Gras is a nice cross section of authentic music from both traditional and newer performers, 17 cuts most really good, highly recommended. BTW Tried Buckwheat Zydeco's" Some like it hot". Except for the first song not really that interesting; too derivative for my taste,

The Cajun All-Stars. This has Sonny Landreth on guitar and Michael Doucet from Beausoleil on fiddle to name a couple. Great instrumental Cajun/Zydeco music and excellent sound.

Boozoo Chavis - Lake Charles Atomic Bomb - an old Rounder recording by one of the 2-steppinest masters of the green bean.
