Clifton Chenier - Bon Ton Roulet! (1967) [Hi-Res]

Clifton Chenier's second album, "Bon Ton Roulet!," recorded primarily in Houston in 1966, reinforces the musician's status as a zydeco pioneer. The record reflects the cultural traditions of French Creole communities, blending diverse rhythms ranging from shuffles and two-steps to deep blues. A distinguishing feature of the recording is the combination of Chenier's accordion with his uncle Morris's fiddle, which is particularly evident in the hit "Black Gal." The album also includes the early 1964 single "Ay Ai Ai," illustrating the genre's formative roots.
