Customer Reviews

Boozoo going out in style
Once again age doesn't matter. Boozoo has mastered the art of Zydeco and has earned his title as the "King of Zydeco". I am still dancing to his music and enjoying ever minute of it. Sadly, I miss Boozoo, he may be gone, but his music lives on.

Pure Joy
The late Boozoo Chavis was one of a kind. He was full of vim and vigor and plain orneriness, but his music was pure joy. This CD comes from his final studio sessions. A month after it was recorded, he was gone. But certainly not forgotten.

Boozoo played a rural kind of Zydeco, full of fun and sly humor. When you hear Boozoo play, you'll want to smile and you'll want to dance. Down Home on Dog Hill mixes old songs with new, and even adds slide guitarist Sonny Landreth to the mix, along with fiddler David Greely from the Mamou Playboys. If you have never heard Boozoo before, this CD is an excellent place to start.

One final note. I once read an interview with Boozoo in which he lambasted record companies for always putting a picture of him with his mouth open on the covers of his recordings. It said it made him look stupid, and that the companies did it deliberately to get his goat. On his final CD, however, he got some respect--his mouth is closed.

It breaks my heart that Boozoo is gone. Thank goodness for recordings. We sometimes forget what a miracle they are.
