Review

A brief ten-song collection of classic zydeco and Cajun party songs, this set packs a lot of energy into its short length, including the Meters' funky "Cissy Strut," Buckwheat Zydeco's breakneck "Zydeco Boogaloo," and Jo-El Sonnier's brisk waltz take on Hank Williams' "Jambalaya." ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
