Had to give you a shoutout of thanks for this, Bluestender. I am not normally a fan of Zydeco but I love this album. It reminds me more of the old days at the beach where we had a number of beach music bands playing the sounds of what we called "Shag Dancing" music. Shag didn't mean what it means in the UK, it was just a dance step name -- all feet and legs but from the waist up was almost still. AND the intricate steps were always by the male and not the female. The southern coastal states here are still huge shag fans.
Super album; thank you!
Thanks BT.
JennyD: shag on the beach, brings back many fond memories of my teenage years in Australia...lol
Bob, HAHAHA, you devil you. I KNOW shag wasn't the dance in the down under. Wait...the "down under", opps. I can't stop laughing.
Thanks for the post. Good to hear new Zydeco.
