"You start moving in your seat as soon as their rhythmic, rich melodies…flood the theater." - New York Times
Jeffery Broussard & The Creole Cowboys features the accordion mastery and soulful vocals of front man Jeffery Broussard, who made a name for himself in his early 20s as a member of Zydeco Force, a key instigator of the starkly contemporary nouveau zydeco movement. More than 20 years later, Broussard has come full circle as a keeper of the traditional zydeco flame with his Creole Cowboys. Their newly released Return of the Creole (Maison de Soul) is a roots-savvy collection of not only country-style zydeco—oh la-la—with great covers of Clifton Chenier and Boozoo Chavis, but also Cajun ("Allons Lafayette"), Louisiana blues (Tabby Thomas's "I Love Big Fat Women"), and Creole, Broussard setting aside his accordion and picking up his fiddle for a wonderful cover of Canray Fontenot's "Old Carpenter's Waltz." This is the real deal. It'll make you laugh, cry, and dance up a storm. One of the most influential accordionists and vocalists in modern Zydeco music, Jeffery continues to be one of the genre’s most dynamic performers. Jeffery Broussard & The Creole Cowboys are taking the next generation’s perspective of this music and presenting it with contemporary flair and expertise.
