Product Details/SpecificationsRecording label: Alligator Records EAN: 0014551492924Binding: Audio CDRelease Date: 2009-05-05Universal product code (UPC): 014551492924Number of discs: 1Album Description
LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN is the most ambitious, deepest and varied recording of Buckwheat Zydeco's career. It is a remarkably conceived, rocking album featuring five new Buckwheat originals and complete reinventions of songs by Memphis Minnie (When The Levee Breaks, made famous by Led Zeppelin), Bruce Springsteen (Back In Your Arms), Gov't Mule (Lay Your Burden Down), Captain Beefheart (Too Much Time), Jimmy Cliff (Let Your Yeah Be Yeah) and JJ Grey & Mofro (The Wrong Side). Guests on the album include Sonny Landreth, Warren Haynes, Steve Berlin, JJ Grey and Trombone Shorty. As New Orleans author Ben Sandmel writes in the liner notes, "LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN pulses with music that tells a story. Since it's zydeco, this album will naturally get feet to moving. But LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN speaks with equal eloquence to the head, and the heart." In this, Buckwheat's first post-Katrina album, Louisiana's life-affirming jazz funeral philosophy of renewal - partying in the face of adversity - is on full display, with joyful, rhythmic dance music and deeper, more intense songs sharing the same celebratory bayou sprit. With LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN, Buckwheat Zydeco's large and loyal fan base will have to make room for a massive influx of new converts.
Low hanging fruit for the the Non-zydeco fanReview Date: 2010-02-01 Rating: 2 out of 10There are two songs on this cd that could be called zydeco and the rest is the lame stuff Buckwheat sells to people who don't really know what true Zydeco music is. It won a grammy making the third time in the three years that grammys have been given out in the Cajun Zydeco category that the award has gone to the worst recording in the bunch because of name recognition.
