The fittingly named Zydeco Essentials provides a good starting point for novices to this musical style, which fuses elements of creole -- such as the accordion, harmonica and fiddle -- with urban R&B. The collection includes songs from some of the most prominent zydeco artists, including Buckwheat Zydeco, Clifton Chenier, Zachary Richard, Beau Jocque, Boozoo Chavis and Queen Ida. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
