Dix Bruce contributes a fine essay on the colorful life of Clifton Chenier. A delightful companion CD recording is available in the spirit of Cheniers signature cry- Laissez les bon ton roulet. Let the good times role. *** Note: 10 songs out of 15 are on the cd, 96616CD Clifton Chenier 60 Minutes with the King of Zydeco.

No lyrics text
The book does not contain song's text.I'm from Italy and for me the text is very important. These lyrics are not in the web. I's a pity. If I knew I'd not bought the book.

I had never played Zydeco music. These arrangements have a real Cajun sound and are fun to play. The blues numbers are great. The arrangements are full enough to be performed as a solo.
