Ultimate Collection
Description
Thank Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural and his group Buckwheat Zydeco for
the many contemporary zydeco releases now available. It was Buckwheat’s major-
label breakthrough record, On a Night Like This, that brought this rural
Louisiana dance music into the mainstream, at least for a time, and his zesty
repertoire that won new legions of fans. His accordion prowess also liberated
the instrument from its polka-band image. This excellent collection traces
Buckwheat’s trajectory from 1979 to 1988, peaking with his rollicking
accordion-powered party poppers “Ma ‘Tit Fille” and “Zydeco Honky Tonk.” His
roots are covered, too, with zydeco pioneer Clifton Chenier’s “Hot Tamale
Baby” and rural-themed numbers like “I Bought a New Raccoon.” There’s also his
collaboration with Eric Clapton–E.C. reprising the ripping solo of his “Why
Does Love Got to Be So Sad.” But with Buckwheat, love’s rarely sad. His
deliciously uptempo, two-stepping blend of swamp-funk, rock, and R&B is a
tonic for misery of any kind. –Ted Drozdowski
