Lil' Brian & The Zydeco Travelers: Brian Terry (vocals, accordion); Patrick "Heavy P" Terry (guitar, background vocals); Emerson "Funky E" Jackson (bass, background vocals); Albert "Tony" Stewart (drums); Mandrell Rideau (rubboard).
In the 1990s, you'd have been hard-pressed to find a more forward-thinking zydeco outfit than Lil' Bryan and the Zydeco Travelers, and the Texans continue to take a lot of chances on 2000's Funky Nation. This is one zydeco band that isn't content to simply emulate Clifton Chenier; while Chenier is an influence, he's hardly the only one. Funky Nation gives the impression that lead singer/accordion player Bryan Terry, aka Lil' Bryan, and his colleagues have also spent a lot of time listening to everyone from James Brown and George Clinton to Bobby "Blue" Bland. For this band, zydeco is something to be combined with funk, southern soul, and the blues as well as hip-hop. And on a few of the slower, more moody numbers, Bryan's accordion playing makes you think of certain types of modern African pop -- not the hyper soukous and zouk styles, but the more moody pop sounds coming out of Ethiopia and the Sudan. (Depending on what part of Africa you go to, pop music can be highly energetic or moody and introspective.) But most of the songs on this CD are exuberant, not moody; more often than not, Funky Nation is a party album, and it's a very rewarding one. ~ Alex Henderson

Any time a musician survives a life-altering change, you can be sure that will be reflected in the music that follows. Often a breakup/divorce, new love/marriage, drug rehabilitation/habit or religious transformation has been responsible for some of pop's most memorable music. So it's no surprise that after Candye Kane was clear of the ...

The definitive rock opera, TOMMY liberated the Who from a "singles band" stigma, marking them as a substantial artistic force. Composer Pete Townshend had flirted with the conceptual format on two previous releases, but here his vision is spread over two ambitious records that play to the Who's main strengths. Anthems such as the raucous "Pinball Wizard" and the surprisingly serene "I'm Free" emphasize the kinetic power of the band, while Townshend's cast of characters (the perverted Uncle Ernie, the inscrutable Tommy) reveals a wild and unconventional imagination. Townshend even incorporates Sonny Boy Williamson's "Eyesight to the Blind" as part of his fable about the "deaf, dumb, and blind kid," making a successful reference to the past ...

If the music on this little slab wasn't so utterly hot, this would have been merely a novelty record. The Four Kings in the title refer to, of course, B.B. Albert, and Freddie King (the last two were brothers), and the fourth ascendant to the throne, who is perhaps lesser known except by blues aficionados, but is well-known to soul music fans, Earl King -- electric guitar masters all. This two-disc collection assembles between five and six of each artist's ...
