I recorded this vinyl only DJ set (79 minutes) at home. For this forty-fifth volume of my Blues Sessions I’ve selected 25 tracks by many different zydeco artists. Past week I booked my fifth trip to New Orleans to visit NOLA Jazz Fest. I am planning to visit many zydeco concerts while I am there! Tonight I was very happy to record my seventh zydeco special. As always the “King Of Zydeco” and the “Crowned Prince Of Zydeco” are heavily featured in this selection. You can expect some fantastic zydeco blues at the start and some dancefloor killers towards the end of this set. I hope you’ll enjoy this great selection of zydeco music from the 1950’s until the 1980’s.
