1	Lafayette Marquis (2004) more music like this by C.C. Adcock It took a decade for swamp rocker C.C. Adcock to follow up his excellent (but frustratingly short) 1994 debut. Although it's impossible to justify that the extended wait was worth it, this is nonetheless a rollicking and eclectic reminder of how much we have missed. According to the press notes that accompany the disc, these songs were recorded at ... see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
2	The Big Easy (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $2.95! new only from $9.96!
3	Evangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music (2002) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $8.95! new only from $13.99!
4	Alligator Stomp, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $5.79! new only from $16.85!
5	I Guar-Ron-Tee (2001) more music like this by Justin Wilson see all copies from $7.88!
6	The Best of Doug Kershaw (1989) more music like this by Doug Kershaw 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 $6.49! new only from $9.55!
7	Spanish Moss (1970) more music like this by Doug Kershaw see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.72!
8	On a Night Like This (1987) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco A relatively basic album of party-based zydeco from the heir apparent to the throne after the death of Clifton Chenier. The nice thing about Buckwheat Zydeco's (Stanley Dural's) albums is the broader diversity that he uses as far as the compositions are concerned. Along with his own compositions on this album are bits from Booker T ("Time Is Tight ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.25!
9	Gitane Cajun (2004) more music like this by Beausoleil/Michael Doucet Beausoleil are the ne plus ultra of Cajun music, and there's certainly nothing here to tarnish their reputation. By now, of course, their command of Cajun music is beyond compare, both in keeping up the tradition and expanding it. Michael Doucet remains a sterling leader, and a remarkable fiddler in the style. The music, a mix of traditional and ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
10	The Best of Clifton Chenier (2003) more music like this by Clifton Chenier The origins of zydeco are traceable to one man: Clifton Chenier, who started blending Cajun music with blues and R&B back in the '50s. He recorded for the Arhoolie label over a nearly 30-year span, and The Best of Clifton Chenier is (yet another) collection of his music culled from his Arhoolie sides.People familiar with the sound of contemporary ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $15.42!
11	New Orleans Party Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The lazy, rolling piano sounds that open this album are not played by Fats Domino, who never whistled like this. It's Professor Longhair, who blazed trails for Domino and generations of other Crescent City musicians with his definitive version of "Go to the Mardi Gras." The legendary Professor returns later with "Big Chief" and Domino checks in ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $7.70!
12 view cover	The Tribute Sessions (2001) more music like this by Terrance Simien This is honest and straight from the heart. Normally discs that have talking about the songs or the reasons for doing the songs will inspire many to pass over the spoken word. This is not the case here -- it is partially Terrance's voice, his obvious love and veneration for these people, and the sincerity of these emotions that comes through ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.79!
13 view cover	Bayou Blues (1970) more music like this by Clifton Chenier Bayou Blues compiles a selection of 12 tracks Clifton Chenier cut for Specialty Records in 1955, including the original versions of "Boppin' the Rock," "Eh, Petite Fille," "I'm On My Way" and "Zodico Stomp." It may not be a definitive retrospective, but it's an entertaining and necessary sampler of Chenier at the beginning of his career. Thom ... see all copies from $5.17! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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! new only from $11.06!
15 view cover	If Dreams Come True (2007) more music like this by Ann Savoy Ann Savoy has long been a Francophile. A French major in college, she later became a major player in the Cajun music scene through her work in the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band and the Magnolia Sisters. More recently, she has become more widely known as the organizer of two well-received Cajun-based compilations, Evangeline Made and Creole Bred, as well ... see all copies from $9.41! new only from $10.55!
16 view cover	Waitin' for My Ya Ya (1985) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco Buckwheat Zydeco came closest on this 1985 session to balancing his R&B and pop tendencies with a zydeco authenticity missing from his releases on other labels. The Ils Sont Partis Band, especially guitarist Jimmy Reed, rubboard man Elijah Cudges, and trumpeter Calvin Landry, put some spark and drive behind the arrangements on the covers of Fats ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $15.11!
17 view cover	Cajun Heat Zydeco Beat (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Cajun Heat, Zydeco Beat is an entertaining sampler which boasts a pretty strong selection of artists, including Buckwheat Zydeco, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas, Bruce Daigrepont, Bois Sec Ardoin with Balfa Toujours, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Jo-El Sonnier, Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers, Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie, Coteau, ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $6.97!
18 view cover	Essential Collection (1997) more music like this by Tommy McLain see all copies from $14.14! new only from $14.14!
19 view cover	Gonna Take You Downtown (1996) more music like this by Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers A stunning album of songs from all over the board. Beau Jocque here incorporates songs of his own making alongside those of other zydeco legends Clifton Chenier and Boozoo Chavis. To top it off, he throws in a couple from zydeco outsiders War and Bob Dylan, reformatted to force a dance. One of the main highlights of the album (and all Jocque ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $16.20!
20 view cover	Rock Awhile Z-Force Style (2003) more music like this by Zydeco Force see all copies from $5.40! new only from $5.40!
21 view cover	The Best of Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers (2001) more music like this by Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers see all copies from $7.55! new only from $16.21!
22 view cover	Across the Parish Line (2006) more music like this by Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience Across the Parish Line, the seventh album by Terrance Simien with his band the Zydeco Experience (formerly the Mallet Boys), is not a compilation, technically speaking, but certain tracks do look back across Simien's two decades of playing. His approach to zydeco has been anything but purist, and he has welcomed both other musical styles and a ... see all copies from $14.41! new only from $14.41!
23 view cover	Blues de Musicien (2007) more music like this by Pine Leaf Boys The Pine Leaf Boys may be young, and their sound may be fresh and energetic, but there's nothing rebellious or even particularly adventurous about their style -- they're not blending Cajun 2-steps with techno beats or writing Creole versions of Christina Aguilera songs or anything like that. All they're doing is playing classic Creole music in a ... see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
24 view cover	Where There's Smoke There's Fire (1990) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco A great album of zydeco party anthems (and others) from Buckwheat Zydeco, the heir apparent in zydeco after the death of Clifton Chenier. This album features a number of Buckwheat's (Stanley Dural's) compositions, along with covers of a few standards from other genres, most notably "Route 66," Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin," and the Stones' ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $6.70!
25 view cover	Made in the Shade (2007) more music like this by Red Stick Ramblers Louisiana's Red Stick Ramblers, led by the twin fiddle attack of Kevin Wimmer and Linzay Young, are a versatile little modern string band as likely to burst into some Hot Club jazz as they are to update some classic Cajun 2-step into a chooglin' bit of swamp blues. On Made in the Shade, their fourth album and first for Sugar Hill Records, they do ... see all copies from $15.15! new only from $15.15!
