When Rockin' Dopsie, Sr. unexpectedly passed away in 1993, the Dopsie family vowed to keep his memory alive, mainly in the incarnation of this band, Rockin' Dopsie, Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters. In doing so, it's become its own phenomenon. No other Zydeco band had ever been fronted by a washboard player - it's usually the accordionist - and it's also a safe bet that there's never been such a flamboyant personality as Rockin' Dopsie, Jr., who can turn a house upside down on a moment's notice. Released in 1998, 13 tracks, including:
01- Turn Up the Zydeco (What You Gonna Do) 02- Zydeco Party 03- They All Asked For You 04- Love The One You're With 05- Hot Tamale Baby 06- Zydeco People 07- I'm Coming Home 08- Zydeco Boogaloo 09- Let the Good Times Roll 10- There Is Something On Your Mind 11- Rock Me Baby 12- The Washboard Man 13- Hot Tamale Baby (House Mix)
