Review Fourteen primitive sides made by zydeco cofounder Wilson "Boozoo" Chavis some time between 1955 and 1960 for Gold- band, the shoestring-budget Louisiana record company responsible for irking him into retirement for nearly three decades. The accordionist's zydeco grill sauce consists of cayenne pepper, Creole mustard, and country and western and blues seasonings. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD Product Description Over the last few years, most of the zydeco news has been focused on the younger bands--the musicians ready to take up where Clifton Chenier left off. While this was going on, though, Boozoo Chavis, an old-timer who started recording before most of the newcomers were born, made an end run around all the youngsters and became zydeco's main man on the Texas-Louisiana circuit in 1990. This album collects Chavis's early recordings, made between with mid-'50s and early '60s for Louisiana's Goldband label. Without question, these are among the most raw sounding--and among the most bizarre--performances ever to make it onto tape, but they're also refreshingly personal and spontaneous.ASIN: B0000002YM
