A smart, and with seventeen tracks, generous, collection culled from Buckwheat`s two Rounder albums. ZYDECO PARTY includes a previously unreleased and absolutely blistering version of "Hot Tamale Baby" that`s actually even more exciting than the slick remake done for Island the same year (1987).
As usual, Zydeco and his crack band avoid purism. There`s lots of authentic zydeco ("Madame Pitre," "Lache Pas La Patate") to be sure, but there are also cover versions of two `50s rock standards (Little Richard`s "Tutti Frutti" and Fats Domino`s "Walking to New Orleans," both of which sound fresh as paint here), a pulsating big band blues ("Someone Else is Steppin` In"), and even a reggae version of Lee Dorsey`s "Ya Ya." Great stuff, brilliantly played.
