Description

King of Louisiana Blues and Zydeco is a 4 CD/6 LP retrospective box set in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Clifton Chenier's birth. The set features a chronology of Chenier's work with Arhoolie Records and other labels, alongside 31 previously unissued gems. The 160-page book includes photos, posters, and other graphic artifacts from the Strachwitz Collection and liner note essays by writer Adam Machado, public folklorist and radio host Nick Spitzer and longtime Louisiana journalist Herman Fusilier, along with a moving personal remembrance by Clifton's son, Zydeco musician C.J.
