1	The Big Easy (1987) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to The Big Easy is a dynamite collection of New Orleans R&B, rock & roll, and zydeco, featuring several of the genre's biggest names as well as some lesser-known gems, and a respectable track from the film's star, Dennis Quaid. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.93!
2	Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood comes with more anticipation than the average various-artists, "music from the motion picture" collection because it was assembled by T-Bone Burnett, fresh from his Grammy-winning O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. And Burnett has taken a similar approach to his work here, putting ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.92!
3	Genuine Houserockin' Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Genuine Houserockin' Christmas is a 16-track compilation of newly recorded holiday tunes sampling the roster of Alligator Records. These tunes capture several Chicago blues, modern soul, and zydeco artists including Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Coco Montoya, C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band, Saffire - The ... see all copies from £10.94! new only from £10.94!
4	Choo Choo Boogaloo (1994) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco Take a tour through Creole country aboard the Choo Choo Boogaloo. Zydeco extrordinaire Buckwheat Zydeco has fashioned an appealing children's album that family members of all ages will really enjoy. Material commonly associated with children is represented with such favorites as "Skip to My Lou" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad," among ... see all copies from £6.84! new only from £6.84!
5	Zydeco [Putumayo] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Zydeco is the favored social and dance music of Louisiana's Creole population, who are the descendants of African and Afro-Caribbean slaves and free people of color. The related Cajun style occupies a similar place in the lives of a nearby white community, whose ancestors were a colony of French settlers called Acadians. Creoles are proud of their ... see all copies from £10.38! new only from £10.38!
6	Belle Louisiane (2002) more music like this by La Bande Feufollet The second album from this tremendously talented young group is a delight. If this were a typical Cajun dance record, it would be fine, but there's more depth here than that -- the spoken-word section at the close of "Couchemar de 1755," the unaccompanied group harmony of "Sept Ans Sur Mer" -- and the record comes alive during such moments; save ... see all copies from £12.00! new only from £12.00!
7	The Cajun Way (1969) more music like this by Doug Kershaw Kershaw's first calling card is very good. Jeff Hannusch, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.34! new only from £7.48!
8	Les Amants du Saint-Laurent (2005) more music like this by Le Vent du Nord The fiddle tunes that come from Quebec clearly have many of the same antecedents (England, Ireland, Scotland) as those that are found in Cape Breton and the American South. But they have a unique flavor as well, probably thanks to the French influence -- a sweet but melancholy character that makes them especially attractive. And the Quebecois ... see all copies from £9.02! new only from £10.92!
9	Bayou Blues (1970) more music like this by Clifton Chenier Bayou Blues compiles a selection of 12 tracks Clifton Chenier cut for Specialty Records in 1955, including the original versions of "Boppin' the Rock," "Eh, Petite Fille," "I'm On My Way" and "Zodico Stomp." It may not be a definitive retrospective, but it's an entertaining and necessary sampler of Chenier at the beginning of his career. Thom ... see all copies from £3.24! new only from £8.14!
10	If Dreams Come True (2007) more music like this by Ann Savoy Ann Savoy has long been a Francophile. A French major in college, she later became a major player in the Cajun music scene through her work in the Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band and the Magnolia Sisters. More recently, she has become more widely known as the organizer of two well-received Cajun-based compilations, Evangeline Made and Creole Bred, as well ... see all copies from £5.09! new only from £8.87!
11 view cover	Spanish Moss (1970) more music like this by Doug Kershaw see all copies from £6.15! new only from £7.60!
12 view cover	Evangeline Made: A Tribute to Cajun Music (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Getting together a bunch of well-known musicians known for rock, folk, and country rather than straight ethnic music to perform on a compilation tribute album to a strand of ethnic music is usually a bad idea. Evangeline Made, refreshingly, turns out to have been a good idea. That's probably due at least in part to it being produced by a respected ... see all copies from £3.77! new only from £10.92!
13 view cover	Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album for the Gulf Coast (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Several benefit albums have been released in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and most -- if not all -- of them have been fine and well-intentioned affairs, full of the spirited and lively music that has long made the Crescent City special. Each of these collections has merit, but if you can only afford ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £12.65!
14 view cover	Where There's Smoke There's Fire (1990) more music like this by Buckwheat Zydeco A great album of zydeco party anthems (and others) from Buckwheat Zydeco, the heir apparent in zydeco after the death of Clifton Chenier. This album features a number of Buckwheat's (Stanley Dural's) compositions, along with covers of a few standards from other genres, most notably "Route 66," Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin," and the Stones' ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.81!
15 view cover	Higher Ground Hurricane Benefit Relief Concert (2005) more music like this by Various Artists When Hurricane Katrina made landfall at New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and the levees failed, devastating the city, the world's complete attention was suddenly focused in on the cradle of jazz, and several benefit relief concerts were quickly organized, including the concert that is presented here, held September 17, 2005, at P. Rose Hall in New ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.65!
16 view cover	The Best of Jazz Fest: Live From New Orleans (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £3.89! new only from £11.25!
17 view cover	The Best of Flaco Jimenez [Arhoolie] (1999) more music like this by Flaco Jiménez Drawn from his Arhoolie recordings (there is also a live recording from the soundtrack of the Chulas Fronteras documentary), this is a satisfactory 16-track compilation with tracks spanning the '50s to the '80s, although, unfortunately, exact dates are not given in the liner notes. The different sources for the material allow for a greater range ... see all copies from £9.31! new only from £11.46!
18 view cover	Alligator Stomp, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Alligator Stomp is a stellar collection of zydeco, featuring stars and lesser-known musicians. The disc is filled with great, rollicking music -- there simply isn't a weak moment on the disc, and it provides an excellent introduction to one of America's most distinctive musics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £10.46! new only from £12.88!
19 view cover	Made in the Shade (2007) more music like this by Red Stick Ramblers Louisiana's Red Stick Ramblers, led by the twin fiddle attack of Kevin Wimmer and Linzay Young, are a versatile little modern string band as likely to burst into some Hot Club jazz as they are to update some classic Cajun 2-step into a chooglin' bit of swamp blues. On Made in the Shade, their fourth album and first for Sugar Hill Records, they do ... see all copies from £5.64! new only from £10.79!
20 view cover	Cajun Heat Zydeco Beat (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Cajun Heat, Zydeco Beat is an entertaining sampler which boasts a pretty strong selection of artists, including Buckwheat Zydeco, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas, Bruce Daigrepont, Bois Sec Ardoin with Balfa Toujours, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Jo-El Sonnier, Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers, Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie, Coteau, ... see all copies from £5.02! new only from £5.96!
21 view cover	I'm Back at Carnival Time (1990) more music like this by Bo Dollis & the Wild Magnolias Bo Dollis, New Orleans' most popular "Indian" chief, has been heading the Wild Magnolias since 1964. His fiery, flamboyant, charismatic style is ideal for the backdrop of Mardi Gras. He's an exuberant vocalist, equally gifted at rousing chants, energetic up-tempo tunes, or even more traditional gospel-tinged soul. This session featured Dollis and ... see all copies from £9.65! new only from £11.44!
22 view cover	Live at Whiskey River Landing (2000) more music like this by Balfa Toujours Angelle's Whiskey River Landing, a modest but regionally famous bar and dancehall on the levee of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin, almost deserves credit as a bandmember on this thrilling live album. Angelle's is Balfa Tourjours' favorite place to play, and you can hear it on every song; the band is completely relaxed, laying down a stomping, ... see all copies from £8.19! new only from £11.46!
23 view cover	The Best of Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers (2001) more music like this by Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers see all copies from £9.60! new only from £12.03!
24 view cover	The Best of Doug Kershaw (1989) more music like this by Doug Kershaw Fiddle player extraordinaire Doug Kershaw is featured on ten Cajun-drenched country and rockabilly tunes recorded in the '70s for Warner Bros.. Some of these songs were initially recorded by Kershaw and his brother, Rusty, in the early '60s and became regional hits in Louisiana before Kershaw went on to mainstream success as "the Ragin' Cajun" in ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £6.52!
25 view cover	Check It Out, Lock It In, Crank It Up (1998) more music like this by Beau Jocque & the Zydeco Hi-Rollers Beau Jocque's fifth album for the Rounder imprint is a wide and varied effort showing musical growth and a depth previously unexplored on his previous outings. The High Rollers can still crank it out with a vengeance on tunes like "Come Go With Me" and "Like a Pot of Neckbones, " and Bo's ear for a great cover like "Tequila, " "Tighten Up, " and ... see all copies from £7.51! new only from £9.50!
