1	Zydeco [Putumayo] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Zydeco is the favored social and dance music of Louisiana's Creole population, who are the descendants of African and Afro-Caribbean slaves and free people of color. The related Cajun style occupies a similar place in the lives of a nearby white community, whose ancestors were a colony of French settlers called Acadians. Creoles are proud of their ... see all copies from $6.89! new only from $12.51!
2	The Big Easy (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to The Big Easy is a dynamite collection of New Orleans R&B, rock & roll, and zydeco, featuring several of the genre's biggest names as well as some lesser-known gems, and a respectable track from the film's star, Dennis Quaid. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.44!
3	Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood comes with more anticipation than the average various-artists, "music from the motion picture" collection because it was assembled by T-Bone Burnett, fresh from his Grammy-winning O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. And Burnett has taken a similar approach to his work here, putting ... see all copies from $1.99!
4	Alligator Stomp, Vol. 4: Cajun Christmas (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you're throwin' a Yule dance party, there isn't a better seasonal collection that features two-steps and waltzes. Of the 17 tracks, 15 were licensed from THE Cajun label, Swallow Records. Beausoleil recorded two songs especially for this compilation, the original "Christmas Bayou" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," performed as an ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $44.88!
5	Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album for the Gulf Coast (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Several benefit albums have been released in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and most -- if not all -- of them have been fine and well-intentioned affairs, full of the spirited and lively music that has long made the Crescent City special. Each of these collections has merit, but if you can only afford ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
6	Louisiana Spice (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This CD is a delight for a DJ or party host wanting to serve up a gumbo of Louisiana music. Aptly titled Louisiana Spice, the two-volume set features musical artists from a variety of genres, from R&B to zydeco. The selections are guaranteed to raise the spirits of listeners. Those so inclined will be out on the dancefloor for tunes such as "That ... see all copies from $3.88! new only from $10.08!
7	The Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco add to wishlist Hip-O's 2000 retrospective The Ultimate Collection may fall short of the promise of the title, but it comes damn close, offering 19 tracks of prime Buckwheat Zydeco from the late '70s, '80s, and '90s. Sure, there are some great tracks missing, and it could be argued the label-specific compilations give a more focused listening experience, but this ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $10.54!
8	Evangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Getting together a bunch of well-known musicians known for rock, folk, and country rather than straight ethnic music to perform on a compilation tribute album to a strand of ethnic music is usually a bad idea. Evangeline Made, refreshingly, turns out to have been a good idea. That's probably due at least in part to it being produced by a respected ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $14.58!
9	Super Mardi Gras (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Capturing the infectious musical spirit of Mardi Gras, these New Orleans artists tackle a combination of 13 traditional and recent songs including "Let's Party, It's Mardi Gras!" by the Nobles, "Mardi Gras Song" by Davell Crawford, Gumbo Kings's "Bourban Street," and "King Cake" by Big Al Carson. Super Mardi Gras was released on the Mardi Gras ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $13.38!
10	Who Stole My Monkey (1999) more music like this by Boozoo Chavis add to wishlist Boozoo Chavis continued to roll on, pumping out joyous zydeco music on this session recorded in September 1998. With a relaxed feel to everything here, Chavis turns out 16 classic examples of the form minus the commercial overlay found on most modern zydeco records. With his regular working band, the Majic Sounds, following every quirky move of ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $12.15!
11	Step It Up (2001) more music like this by C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band add to wishlist This is the son of the man who popularized zydeco, taking the music of his father and imbuing it with more of the funk and music he grew up with, pushing and exploring one of the two main roots that his father fused to become zydeco. One root is the music of the Cajuns and Creoles of Southwestern Louisiana, and the other is the root that C.J. ... see all copies from $2.56! new only from $14.63!
12	American Roots Music [Box Set] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music. The series touches on the development of the distinctly American styles of traditional folk, country, ... see all copies from $27.85! new only from $35.16!
13	Turn up the Zydeco (1998) more music like this by Rockin' Dopsie add to wishlist see all copies from $4.75! new only from $14.75!
14	Ragin' Cajun (1976) more music like this by Doug Kershaw add to wishlist see all copies from $3.99! new only from $6.59!
15	Le Hoogie Boogie: Louisiana French Music for Children (1992) more music like this by Michael Doucet w/ Family and Friends add to wishlist Ever wondered how to sing "The Hokey Pokey" in French? If not, maybe your kids have, and this disc is for them anyway. That's not all they'll learn, either: "L'Arc en Ciel" will help them with their colors, and "A, B, C et 1, 2, 3" will have them counting and chanting the alphabet with a French Lousiana twang before you know it. There are several ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $16.06!
16	Genuine Houserockin' Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Genuine Houserockin' Christmas is a 16-track compilation of newly recorded holiday tunes sampling the roster of Alligator Records. These tunes capture several Chicago blues, modern soul, and zydeco artists including Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Coco Montoya, C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band, Saffire - The ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $12.49!
17	Country Classics (2003) more music like this by Doug Kershaw add to wishlist see all copies from $4.99! new only from $4.99!
18	Alligator Stomp, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Alligator Stomp is a stellar collection of zydeco, featuring stars and lesser-known musicians. The disc is filled with great, rollicking music -- there simply isn't a weak moment on the disc, and it provides an excellent introduction to one of America's most distinctive musics. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
19	The Best of Doug Kershaw (1989) more music like this by Doug Kershaw add to wishlist Fiddle player extraordinaire Doug Kershaw is featured on ten Cajun-drenched country and rockabilly tunes recorded in the '70s for Warner Bros.. Some of these songs were initially recorded by Kershaw and his brother, Rusty, in the early '60s and became regional hits in Louisiana before Kershaw went on to mainstream success as "the Ragin' Cajun" in ... see all copies from $3.24! new only from $6.43! \| first editions
20	The Best of Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers (2001) more music like this by Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers add to wishlist see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
21	Cajun Music: The Essential Collection (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist An installment of Rounder's 30th anniversary celebration, this album showcases the best of Cajun music available on the label since the beginning. This album, like its zydeco counterpart, attempts to cover all of the major aspects of Cajun music over the course of the track listings. Here, the time line stretches from the very beginnings of Cajun ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
22	Les Amants du Saint-Laurent (2005) more music like this by Le Vent du Nord add to wishlist The fiddle tunes that come from Quebec clearly have many of the same antecedents (England, Ireland, Scotland) as those that are found in Cape Breton and the American South. But they have a unique flavor as well, probably thanks to the French influence -- a sweet but melancholy character that makes them especially attractive. And the Quebecois ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $13.99!
23	Mardi Gras in New Orleans [Rounder] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist First of all, this compilation is produced by Scott Billington, a guy who has become Rounder Records' link to all that's hot and tasty in New Orleans (never mind the rest of Louisiana). Aside from the rest of an impressive list of credits, he has produced several excellent compilations prior to this effort, mostly focusing on Cajun and zydeco of ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
24	Hang It High, Hang It Low (2006) more music like this by Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas add to wishlist There's no question at all that Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas are a great band. They've got that paradoxical tight-yet-loose thing going, and an irrepressible energy, and there's an infectious joy in everything they do. Nathan Williams is also a pretty good singer, and when you're leading a zydeco band you don't necessarily want to be much better ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
25	Louisiana Man: The Very Best of Doug Kershaw Live (2003) more music like this by Doug Kershaw add to wishlist Louisiana fiddler Doug Kershaw has been performing his brand of energetic hybrid Cajun music for some 50 years now, and this live set, which tackles most songs at a blistering pace, shows that he is far from a one-trick pony. His touring band (which features his son Tyler on drums) delivers a big, full contemporary Cajun country sound with plenty ... see all copies from $11.41! new only from $11.41!
