Zydeco Pick 1

I still remember my first exposure to Zydeco. I was blown away with how infectious the music was. I've loved it ever since. There is something to it that doesn't stop. I can't say that the accordion is my favorite instrument. Not by far. But it fits here. These are my pick for Zydeco bliss. At the very least it is a starting point for your own Zydeco adventure. The more you listen the more you will want to dance (and drink). Just think Mardi Gras as you listen. I'd love to hear what you think of this and to read the comments with your choices to add to this.
