Raucous, rowdy, and rambunctious in the best possible light,Buckwheat's Zydeco Partypresents nimble-fingered, showstopping  accordionist and band-leaderBuckwheat Zydecopulling the listener in for a Louisiana-styled throw down. The rhythms  are hot and crazy, the band is tight, and the party is an explosion of  two-steps and R&B; flavored melodies. Included are the regional hit  "Ya-Ya," a fiery take on Zydeco granddaddy Clifton Chenier's "Hot Tamale  Baby," and a mix of traditional and original tunes. Furthermore, the  Rounder reissue comes with extensive liner notes detailing the  Buckwheat Zydeco story as well as the potent impact of the genre on  American culture. When high-energy celebration is the mood to invoke,Buckwheat's Zydeco Partyis the right fit.--Paige La  Grone
