This is the best live Zydeco recording ever made! It's totally laid back, but high energy at the same time - "Going to Baton Rouge this evening - Where the Crawfish got soul."
MolotovMan: you were truly blessed to be at this show!

I was there! I'm in the group picture on the back cover. This is wild. Thirty-nine years ago -- and the music is every bit as good as I remember it.

@Rowland108 No, I was the Northern area (Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire) Sales Rep for Transatlantic Records. We sold imports from Blues Classic, Arhoolie, Blue Goose and Old Timey as well as our own label. I have some fabulous old vinyl including Zydeco. Let the good times roll!

Do Cajuns still use French as their first language?

Superb music. I used to sell this album into retailers in 1972. Sometimes a struggle over here in England. The best job I ever had.

@g1itv Did you work for Flyright of Bexhill on Sea? 'cause I used to buy my stock of US imports from them.
