Hot Offerings

Dave Becker, The Oakland Tribune, December 19, 1993
"Oooh, mama! The Berkeley-based Zydeco Flames have finally put their stuff down on CD, and it's a cooker. The album is an even mix of solid originals and songs by Zydeco czar Clifton Chenier, plus a few surprises. Thanks to the steady accordion-pumping of Bruce Gordon and the spirited vocals and washboard rubbing of Lloyd Meadows, the band never misses a beat as it cooks up a swamp-boogie storm."

Product Description
Sear your soul and cure what ails you. Well grounded in Zydeco traditionals like the "Eunice Two Step," the Flames are also known to have a flair for respectful innovation - 6 of 15 offerings in this collection are band originals. The band's "Johnny Can't Dance" received the 1993 Best Contemporary Zydeco Song Award from the West Coast Cajun & Zydeco Music & Dance Association. On this, their debut CD, the Zydeco Flames create a unique and infectious sound that smolders, crackles and roars.
