Music reviews of I'm Never Comin' Back: The Roots of Zydeco
Music Review: Great performer and pioneer of Cajun/Zydeco.
Rating: 4 Stars
I only recently heard the recorded works of Am?d? Ardoin via the internet through a folk music site featuring the PBS program "American Patchwork" Series by the late and great Alan Lomax. I finally got around to purchasing another album with both Am?d? Ardoin and Dennis McGee are featured on called J'ai Ete Au Bal [I Went to the Dance], Vol. 1. From then on in I was very interested in his works. When I got this CD for Chirstmas I was ecstatic. To say the least, I had already heard some of the samples on this site. But finally hearing them in their entirety was even greater. My only complaint is the quality of some of the songs. I understand that a few of them are field recordings, but for the most part, the rest of the songs sound great. His voice is heart breaking and so soulful and his accordion playing is frenzied and so lively. The blues pieces on the album are something of a hit or miss, but I enjoyed the majority. For the most part, it's great album with little disappointment. For anyone who enjoys earlier roots music, especially early Cajun and Creole, this is a must have!
