Sings the Blues

Sings the Blues is a collection of earlier recordings of zydeco originator Clifton Chenier released as a CD on Arhoolie Records in 1987. The release contains sessions from 1969 originally released on Prophecy Records rather than Arhoolie. True to its title, the album is heavy on the blues, including the song “Ain’t No Need of Cryin’ (Every Day Is the Same),” an English version of the song “Louisiana Blues,” which was recorded in Black French Creole on Chenier’s Arhoolie debut, Louisiana Blues and Zydeco.
