Music reviews of Louisiana Hot Sauce Creole Style

Music Review: A must-have for fans of Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco music.
Rating: 5 Stars

Fontenot sounds like he's been singing these songs for decades without getting tired of them. I don't get tired of them, either. There are better-known versions of some of these songs (John Delafose had a huge Zydeco hit with "Joe Pitre a Deux Femmes", and Beausoleil does a wonderful "Grand Mallet") but never better-played ones.

Bois-Sec Ardoin and Beausoleil show up for some of these sessions, but Fontenot's sweet, sly, spontaneous singing and fiddling is always up front, as it should be. Twenty-seven tracks of fiddle and rusty voice may sound like a bit much, but Fontenot's built up an astounding repertoire, and every song has a particular mood and personality that sets it apart from the rest. There's not a bad one in the bunch.
