We are pleased to announce Buckwheat Zydeco
won the Grammy for Best Cajun and Zydeco album for
Lay Your Burden Down! Thanks so much to all our
fans who were rooting for us and everyone who has
congratulated us. After 5 nominations in 3 different
categories, we really appreciate winning it. If
you haven't heard the album yet, give it a spin! Review Highlights for Buckwheat Zydeco’s LAY YOUR
BURDEN DOWN: "Lay Your Burden Down ends up being Dural's most
accomplished and mature album yet, moving from start
to finish like everything belongs together. Nothing
misses its mark, and several tracks do so much more
than that… He has given us something else
again, an album that works both at the dance party
and still rings clear the next day when maybe it's
time to dig deeper and do a little thinking. It's
the best kind of musical synthesis." – Allmusic.com |

BUCKWHEAT
ZYDECO HITS THE JACKPOT! "Buck
has never sounded better, a brilliantly dexterous musician belting
it out with a terrific set of pipes while exuding consummate showmanship.
From beginning to end, Buck throws it down and slams it sideways,
delivering the ultimate nonstop party ride..." |
|||
| Jackpot!,
on Buck’s own label, Tomorrow Recordings, combines soulful original
tunes, inspired playing and singing, and the trademark exuberance
that’s made him the world’s best-loved zydeco artist,
and has earned Buckwheat Zydeco the sobriquet “the world’s
greatest party band.” There’s plenty of Buckwheat’s
signature accordion, and for the first time ever Buck specifically
features his soulful mastery of the horizontal keyboard on a fantastic
three-song Hammond B3 “Encore featuring Organic Buckwheat.”
