The Best Of Buckwheat Zydeco: 20th Century Masters Of The Millennium Collection

Performer: Buckwheat Zydeco
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Composer: Buckwheat Zydeco. This concise 12-track collection cherry-picks from the vast catalogue of Louisiana accordion/keyboard legend Buckwheat Zydeco (born Stanley Dural). Zydeco took the sound of his adopted surname to new heights by following in the footsteps of the genre's biggest star, Clifton Chenier, and then carrying his legacy into the 21st century. Among the many party-ready songs here are the rollicking "Hot Tamale Baby" and "Ma 'Tit Fille," along with bold covers (the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden"), making this a short-but-sweet introduction to the wonders of this bayou superstar.

Since starting out in the 1980s, Buckwheat Zydeco (aka Stanley Dural), a performer as musically vital as the legendary Clifton Chenier, has gone on to be the most commercially successful zydeco act ever. Playing a slightly modernized, furiously energetic brand of accordion-led zydeco, Dural's funk- and R&B-influenced music has won him several Grammy nominations and inclusion in many film soundtracks.
