Well, I've just raided my (fairly large) record collection to see what I have in the Cajun/Zydeco field and - in addition to the Boat Band's excellent "Burning The Water" album, I have (from various sources):
Ma 'Tit Fille - Buckwheat Zydeco Zydeco Gris Gris - BeauSoleil Oh Yeh Yai - Terrance Simien & The Mallet Playboys Buck's Nouvelle Jole Blon - Buckwheat Zydeco Pine Grove Blues - Dewey Balfa Mardi Gras Boogie - Clifton Chenier & His Red Hot Louisiana Band Les Filles Du Canada - Nathan Abshire Acadien Two Step - The Balfa Brothers Orchestra Triangle Special - Austin Pitre & The Evangeline Playboys French Fiddle Boogie - Joe Bonsall &The Orange Playboys Midnight Special - The Balfa Brothers Orchestra Oson Two Step - Aldus Roger & The Lafayette Playboys La Queue De Torture - Nathan Abshire Love Bridge Waltz - Bessyl Duhon One Is A Lonely Number - Phil Menard & His Louisiana Travellers Fee Fee Ponchot - Don Monoucet & the Wandering Aces Old Fashioned Two Step - The Balfa Brothers Orchestra Zydeco Hee-Haw - Boozoo Chavis That's What Makes The Cajun Dance - Rickey Bearb & The Cajun Ramblers Five Hicks Wagon Wheel Special - Don Monoucet & the Wandering Aces Me And My Cousin - Camey Doucet with Wayne Toups & The Crowley Aces Mamou Hot Step - Ardoin Brothers Orchestra L'annee Tu Partit - Ronnie Fruge & the Cajun Kings Jolie Catan - Boozoo Chavis La Cravat - Cajun Grass Band Lacassine Special - The Balfa Brothers Orchestra Johnny Can't Dance - Ardoin Family Orchestra with Dewey Balfa Sheryl's Special - Sheryl Cormier with Blackie Forestier & the Cajun Aces Harmonica Zydeco - Clifton Chenier & The Red Hot Louisiana Band
Quite a variety of styles here! On balance, I'd say I have a leaning towards the older, simple style. I'm also a sucker for the tracks with the triangle on them - seems to make the music fly along a little faster... Lots to go at!
