Clifton Chenier was a breathtakingly innovative musical artist, and along with his Red Hot Louisiana Band, he created one of the world’s most exuberant and soulful forms of music. His legendary four-hour live shows and trailblazing tours invigorated the music and culture of his home state and brought his stunning creations to the world’s most important stages.The King of Zydeco is the first standalone biography of the originator of zydeco music, and it builds upon longtime journalist Todd Mouton’s 2015 book Way Down in Louisiana: Clifton Chenier, Cajun, Zydeco, and Swamp Pop Music to create the richest portrait ever of the monumental songwriter, bandleader, and Grammy winner as it traces his indelible legacy from the cane fields of Louisiana to Carnegie Hall.“Zydeco and Clifton Chenier have been with me since forever. It’s Deep South with some interesting French.” – Keith Richards“Cliff was the James Brown, the king of the accordion.” – Stanley “Buckwheat Zydeco” Dural Jr. Read more
