Boozoo, Geno & John Delafose, Preston & Keith Frank, Jeffrey Broussard...
Boozoo - the alpha & the omega / get everything except the Atomic something or another sessions. Down Home on Dog Hill is fantastic. "Johnnie Billiegoat" is kind of a best of disc. Live at Hibibi temple is a great one too.
John Delafose - simple but very cool / good to learn zydeco by
Geno Delafose - great player & band, true to the Zydeco tradition, and he mixes in some cajun tunes too
Preston Frank - rock solid playing, also does some "cajuny" tunes-if that's where you're coming at it from
Keith Frank - early stuff very simple, but also rock solid / Live at Slims is a great disc
Jeffrey Broussard - early stuff with Zydeco Force is classic. More recent stuff under his own name is great too.
yes zydeco joe had some single row
jack rabbit, is one
they are all on that first cd, the red one
about half of them are single row
a lot of it is pretty bluesy, he liked the flat 7th a lot in his vocal lines
there are only 2 cds he left
the first one is way better than the 2nd
may be hard to find
was out of print for a long time
if you saw him live he;d also play some cajun stuff, especially the waltzes
there is also that movie with him talking in french
