The King of Zydeco

Recorded live in 1975 at the Montreux Jazz and Blues Festival in Switzerland, accordion player and zydeco originator Clifton Chenier leads his Red Hot Louisiana Band through a selection of high energy music that exemplifies the fusion of blues, R&B, and Cajun music that he popularized. The performance featured on The King of Zydeco was recorded three months before the band went into the studio to record Bogalusa Boogie, Chenier’s critical and commercial zenith. This release covers entirely different repertoire, showcasing the depth of his artistry.
