Review

Opening with a series of waltzes and two-steps with brother Cleveland's clattering rubboard to the fore, this collection of 1964-67 efforts by the inventor of zydeco soon shifts to a bluesier feel. The program includes the rocking instrumental "Hot Rod" and several tracks with only percussion backing that emphasize Clifton's full-bodied accordion.
