Liner Note Author: Jeff Hannusch. Editors: Chris Strachwitz; Jeff Hannusch. Arrangers: A. Ardoin; Lawrence "Black" Ardoin. This generous 22-track sampler of Louisiana zydeco stompers recorded over the years for Chris Strachwitz's Arhoolie Records imprint has more dance energy than a barrel of caffeine-injected monkeys, kicking off with the great Clifton Chenier's "Josephine Par Se Ma Femme" and never really letting up for the duration of the disc. Chenier's bluesy, haunting version of "Black Gal" is a clear highlight. ~ Steve Leggett Producer: Chris Strachwitz   Technical Info Release Date : 11/03/1992 Original Release Date : 1992 Catalog ID : 328 Label : Arhoolie Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00096297032824    Product Image
