Review
It opens with a funkified cover of the O’Kaysion’s 1968 “I’m a Girl Watcher,” sung–leeringly–in a basso of almost Beefheartian dimensions, and ends with a high-tech disco remix. In other words, this is NOT your father’s zydeco album. Which is not to say that Beau Jocques can’t get rootsy when he wants too; the instrumental workout “The Second Line” and the charming “Pine Point Trail Ride” (sung in French) are as traditional as it gets. Mostly, though, the music here is contemporary R&B and blues (a B. B. King-esque “Rock Me, Baby”) with an accordion up front providing Cajun seasoning.
