Buckwheat Zydeco

Monday I said that I was going to devote my posts this week to musicians from New Orleans, but I have decided to expand that to musicians from Louisiana.

Today's post is on Buckwheat Zydeco. Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural, Jr. is from Lafayette, Louisiana, and is one of the most popular Zydeco musicians in the country. He frequently plays in Baltimore and I have seen him several times. He shows always have great music, and are a lot of fun.

Here is an extended version of "Hard to Stop" from the 2007 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.



Here is another performance that is mostly instrumental.



Going back over 20 years, here is a cover of Bob Dylan's song "On a Night Like This".
