Congrats to Buckwheat Zydeco on winning a Grammy for their latest CD, "Lay Your Burden Down."You can see the group, led by Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural, Jr. (right, at the Narrows Festival in 207) at the Narrows February 12.
Your humble blogger, by chance, happened to pick up a copy of "Lay Your Burden Down" just a few days back. Was I surprised!
I expected to hear a lot of party music--instead there were soulful sounds that keep toes tappin' but also the brain bouncin'. There's a cover of the Bruce Springsteen tune "Back In Your Arms" that made me look up and say "hmmm, zydeco is more than dance music."
If you don't particularly like to dance, don't worry--the upcoming Buckwheat Zydeco show promises to be a great sit-down-and-listen concert.
