Notes
Born in Opelousas, Louisiana, Clifton Chenier was the most rocking squeeze box player who ever lived and it is no exaggeration to call him the ‘King of Zydeco’.
This collection draws together most of the recordings made during the first six years of his career.
Jukebox hits galore! Backed by washboard, drums, guitar and sometimes sax you won’t believe the sound of these tracks. These are the authentic sounds of the bayous played, quite simply by the most popular zydeco artist of all time.
