Although only a mere 15 years old at the time of this release, Chris Ardoin was already somewhat of a veteran of Zydeco music with two previous albums for local Louisiana labels to his credit. He's also a member of one of Zydeco's most established musical families: he's the grandnephew of Amadé Ardoin -- the first Cajun or Creole musician to record in the 1920s -- and the grandson of Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin. With his brother Sean on drums and vocals and Gabriel "Pandy" Perrodin, Jr. on guitar, Tammy Ledet on rubboard and Derek "Dee" Greenwood on bass, they forge a new chapter in Zydeco with a sound that mines new beats and grooves from reggae to hip-hop while keeping all firmly grounded in their Creole roots. This is dance music of the highest order, wedding modern funk grooves to the basic fun core of the music's roots. If the Ardoin brothers and their band are truly the future of Zydeco, then the future is in very good hands and the dance floor was never fuller. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide Released in 1997, 14 tracks, including:
