Live at the San Francisco Blues Festival

Recorded in 1982, Live at the San Francisco Blues Festival is the final album by Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco, to be released by Arhoolie Records during his lifetime. With only his brother Cleveland on rubboard and Robert St. Julian on drums as consistent members of his Red Hot Zydeco Band (as they are credited by the festival announcer), the sound Chenier and his Red Hot Zydeco Band present here retains his signature down-home zydeco and blues infused with contemporary stylings. Impassioned and undiminished by his age and lurking health issues, Chenier leads the band, which includes his son and torchbearer C.J. Chenier on saxophone, through a selection that includes fan favorites such as “Calinda,” ‘I’m Coming Home,” and “Party Down.”
