"Shows that this classic band can still find new directions to explore. They have many interesting covers, but I like their traditional cajun songs best, especially "Carriere Zydeco" and "Valse a Beausoleil"." less

"A very modern blend of traditional Louisiana and the rougher edges of alt.country. Check out "Cankton", "Home" and "Happy Rabbit"." less

"The Rhino compilation "Johnny Billy Goat" is probably the best Boozoo album out there, but this will do in a pinch." less

"Young but already an established star..." more

"Young but already an established star. Amazing fiddle work that never forgets that the purpose of the music is to get you moving. "Zydeco du Violon" is a great starting place." less

"Very heartfelt recording, probably the best Gate on emusic." less

"Hard to pick a single Clifton Chenier album, but I'll choose this one." less

"The Cajun Sgt. Peppers. Respectful of the traditions, but fearless in the song selections and arrangements. An essential album - download all tracks to experience just how far this young band has come." less

"A very popular and consistent band. Look for other tracks by Geno scattered on various compilations, they're all worth a download." less

"One of the best introductions to Cajun and Creole music." less

"I can't find "Give Him Cornbread" on any of emusic's Beau Jocque albums, but this is a nice set by one of the masters." less

"A truly unique band (for Louisiana, at least) that should be better known. "3/4" and "Spoonin' in the Twilight" are the standouts among a great collection of songs." less
