"From the moment I heard Zydeco Giant and Beau Jocque coming from the Zydeco Record Shop on Decater Street in New Orleans I could'nt stop my feet. Zydeco Giant with its haunting blues and hard driving accordion riffs is truly the best Beau Jocque to date. Jocque and his Zydeco Hi-Rollers prove why they deserve to be more than just South Louisiana's premier Zydeco dance band...Beau and the boys truly deserve a universal listen and a global audience with this latest release. Beau Jocque's raw energy and driving dance beat on Zydeco Giant make this a dance hall masterpiece for the new millenium. Favorite cuts include: "I'm So Tired Of You Doing Me Wrong," "The Second Line," and "Rock Me Baby." If you pick up Zydeco Giant, it will be the first of many Beau Jocque recordings you will want to purchase. This brave and determined former electrician has clearly electrified Zydeco music and is capable of bringing it to a mass audience. With Zydeco Giant by Beau Jocque and The Zydeco Hi-Rollers you'll experience the sound of New Orleans and one of Louisiana's great national treasures. It's time the world discovered this giant named Beau Jocque!"

I loved this cd

"This was a great cd because it brings back a lot of memories. I am from the Pine Point community (Mamou,La) so it really hit home. Andrus (Beau Jocque) was my second cousin and his passing just broke my heart. Actually all of his music that he's ever recorded has been "off the hook". As a matter of fact since I've been away from home I listen to his music all of the time. It just makes me feel at home even though I'm not at home. Thanks Andrus for making me and all of your fans learn to appreciate good music again. You will be sadly missed. Much love,Melissa"

"I am a huge fan of Zydeco Music, and I was deeply saddened to hear to the passing of Beau Jocque (Andres Espri) He will be sadly missed by everyone who ever had the pleasure of listening and dancing to his music. I last saw him at Richard's in Lawtell LA. in May 1999 THE MAN WAS AWSOME. God Bless him and his family.Darlene Balque"
