Cedric Watson and his Bijou Creole are the latest talent in Creole and Cajun music and they're bringing some of America’s most unique music traditions to new ears. The Texas-raised Watson cut his zydeco chops in swinging Lafayette, Louisiana and quickly turned heads with his fresh-faced take on the bayou sound. On this track, Cedric’s masterful accordion playing is backed up with a roaring horn section, finger-licking blues guitar, and a back-alley funk groove.
