Buckwheat Zydeco September 8, 2009

FROM THE ALLIGATOR NEWS RELEASE: Alligator Records has set a May 5, 2009 release date for "LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN", the stunning label debut from American musical legend, Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural Jr. and his band, Buckwheat Zydeco. The New York Times says, "Stanley 'Buckwheat' Dural leads one of the best bands in America. A down-home and high-powered celebration, meaty and muscular with a fine-tuned sense of dynamics…propulsive rhythms, incendiary performances." The Louisiana accordion and organ master and vocalist recorded the new CD at Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana with Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) producing (as well as leading the horn section). Buckwheat Zydeco celebrates its 30th anniversary with the new CD and a lengthy tour.
