This collection of 15 accordion arrangements of tunes by Clifton Chenier (1925-1987) clearly demonstrates why he is known as the undisputed King of Zydeco music. Written for the piano accordion as opposed to the Cajun button accordion, all of the selections in this book are transcribed from Chenier's 1965-1987 recordings on Arhoolie Records. Dix Bruce contributes a fine essay on the colorful life of Clifton Chenier. A delightful companion CD recording is included in the spirit of Chenier's signature cry- "Laissez les bon ton roulet!" (Let the good times role!) The 15 selections on the companion CD, drawn from Clifton Chenier's various Arhoolie releases, constitute his most popular recordings from 1965 to 1987, when he reigned supreme as the King of Louisiana Zydeco music. Note that 10 of the 15 songs on the CD are transcribed in the accompanying book. Here is a listing of related products.
