Notes
Working with his longtime backing band the Thunders, Fernest Arceneaux turns in a wonderful zydeco blues collection with Zydeco Stomp. Arceneaux and the Thunders cut the album in London in 1981, playing a set of covers and originals that don’t stray far from the zydeco-blues formula. That’s hardly a bad thing, however, since the group packs musical muscle and bassist Victor Walker is a powerful vocalist — he’s equally powerful on uptempo rockers and slow blues. Arceneaux isn’t packs quite a punch on the accordion, driving Zydeco Stomp into the realm of ecstatic party music with his propulsive style.
