The Queen's Best

"On Tour is Queen Ida's best work, primarily because this album contains "Frisco Zyedco" and "Grand Basile" on the same album. I don't regularly listen to Zydeco music, but I've never gotten tired of these two songs, and I can stand to listen to the rest of the album too."
Good-time music guaranteed to lift your spirits!

"A fun live recording, complete with intros and comments to the audience by Queen Ida and her brother, "Al Rapone" Lewis (also of the group Zydeco Express). Zydeco--uptempo, crowd-pleasing and dance-oriented--is the black relative of Cajun music, driven by sound of jaunty accordion improvs and the frisky metal rub-boards known as "frottoire" (very fun to play if you ever get a chance!). Blending Cajun, Creole, R&B and other influences, Ida and Al stamp this music with their own throaty vocals and larger-than-life personalities, touring the country to introduce Zydeco to new audiences and share their enthusiasm for this slice of Louisiana culture. Check out the other releases of Queen Ida and her Bon Temps Zydeco Band, as well as the highly upbeat music of Buckwheat Zydeco, and the album "Chez les Cajuns" by the Cajun All Stars, featuring Michael Doucet and others. And for more good-time, down-home music, try also "Smoky Mountain Pickin': 24 Great Bluegrass Instrumentals" and "Rural Rhythm Banjo Collection: 25 Bluegrass Banjo Favorites.""
