	Buckwheat Zydeco
		By the time Buckwheat and his band launched into "Let the Good Times Roll," early in the set, seats were emptied and the large dance floor was jammed and would remain jammed for the remainder of his ninety-minute performance.
		Zydeco is, after all, a hybrid of rhythms (African, Caribbean, jazz, soul, rock, funk, country, etc.) filtered through a southwest Louisiana spirit and consciousness.
		Buckwheat concluded the set with a shortened version of "Hey Joe" before getting behind the keyboards for the first time in the evening for a performance of "Buck's Going to Frenchtown," another original off Jackpot!, which in its funk recalls his days with the Hitchhikers.

	Buckwheat Zydeco : Where There's Smoke There's Fire - Audio CDs - UMVD/Universal Special Products : Oldies.com
		And in the hands of a master like Stanley Dural, Jr., better known in music circles as Buckwheat Zydeco, it's easy to hear why no summer event, barbecue or picnic should go without his brand of music as the centerpiece of entertainment.
		His performances run the spectrum from the different spin he put on Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Lookin'" (performed with Dwight Yoakam) to the spicy Cajun feel of the good-rocking-tonight "Pour Tout Quelque'un." David Hidalgo of Los Lobos served as produced for the entire project and played drums on the latter.
		Buckwheat asked effervescently "What You Gonna Do?" And the answer should very well be to take "Buck's Hot Rod" and race on over 'cause "We're Having A Party." So get into the groove of this well-seasoned blend of traditional and contemporary Zydeco, and follow the smoke signals for a gar-on-teed bon temps.

		This collection's also an excellent introduction to Buckwheat Zydeco's music, and the perfect CD to spin at your next backyard beer-and-barbecue event.
		The opening track "Zydeco Boogaloo" gets the party started off right and pretty soon my toe is tapping and the beat has before long worked its way up to my spine.
