Creole Soul: Zydeco Lives is an exquisitely photographed volume of
interviews with contemporary zydeco musicians. Featuring the voices
of zydeco’s venerable senior generation and its current agents of
change, this book celebrates a musical world full of passion,
energy, cowboy hats and boots, banging bass, horse trailers, joy,
and dazzling dance moves. Author Burt Feintuch captures an
important American music in the process of significant—and
sometimes controversial—change. Creole Soul draws us into
conversations with zydeco musicians from Texas and Louisiana, most
of them bandleaders, including Ed Poullard, Lawrence "Black"
Ardoin, Step Rideau, Brian Jack, Jerome Batiste, Ruben Moreno,
Nathan Williams Jr., Leroy Thomas, Corey Ledet, Sean Ardoin, and
Dwayne Dopsie. Some of the interviewees represent the contemporary
scene and are among today’s most popular performers along the
Creole Corridor. Others are rooted in older French music forms and
are especially well qualified to talk about zydeco’s origins. The
musicians speak freely, whether discussing the death of a famed
musician or describing a memorable performance, such as when Boozoo
Chavis played the accordion while dripping blood on stage shortly
after a freak barbeque-building accident that sliced off parts of
two of his fingers. They address the influence of rap on today’s
zydeco music and discuss how to pass music along to a younger
generation—and how not to. They weigh the merits of the old-time
zydeco clubs versus today’s casinos and African American
trailrides, which come complete with horses and the loudest zydeco
bands you can imagine. In Creole Soul, zydeco musicians give an
unprecedented look into their lives, their music, and their
culture.
