J'ai Ete Au Bal [I Went to the Dance], Vol. 2

by I WENT TO THE DANCE 1 / VARIOU

Overview

J'ai Ete Au Bal (I Went to the Dance), Vol. 2 is as exciting as the first volume fo the soundtrack, featuring excellent sides from cajun and zydeco artists like Clifton Chenier, Dewey Balfa, Boozoo Chavis, Sidney Babineaux, D.L. Menard and the Louisiana Aces, Rockin' Sidney, and Beausoleil, among many others. It's a fun, intoxicating listen that, in conjunction with the first volume, gives a good sense of what cajun and zydeco is all about. ~ Thom Owens
