 Will Blow Your Walls Down!

Having been taken downtown with enthusiasm for Beau Jocque, I headed down to Columbus (uh, actually it was to Dublin, not to downtown Columbus... ) and picked up his live CD from 1995, Git It, Beau Jocque!. If you think Live at Leeds is a high-energy live recording, you ain't heard nuthin' yet! One of the most fun experiences I had all summer was the evening the family left me home by myself and I cranked this thing up on the Legacies--louder than I have ever played the things. It was like being in a small club, and of course my feet started moving. With Beau Jocque wailing on the accordion while being encouraged to "crank it up!" by drummer "Skeeta" Charlot, plus rubboard, bass, and two guitars all getting into the act, these guys put on a show that will blow your walls right down. Wow!
Although this is not an audiophile-grade recording, it still sounds good, and can be played loud without sounding harsh if your system is up to it. All I can say is that when it comes to Beau Jocque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers, you'd better run right out and Git It! |

| The incredible driving rhythm of Beau Jocque's unique electric zydeco overlaid by his one-of-a-kind voice is a joy that ended far too soon. |

Git It While You Can!

I never got to see Beau Jocque live and I'm sad because I found his music a few weeks ago.
I really like Jocque's style of zydeco and plan to buy more from him even though it would be tough to beat this good sounding live recording. It has a free form flow to it that I love and a tad over one hour of happy jamming music.
If you like non traditional zydeco, you'll love this recording too.

| I picked up this CD in 96 after listening to a few seconds of just a few songs. It got me rockin instantly. A few months later on a trip to NOLA I just happened to pick up a paper to see where to go and there was Beau Jocque playing at the Rock and Bowl(I think thats what it was called). They rocked that place so hard the floor was buckling! This CD is the next best thing to seeing him live(if you were lucky enough). Any guy who can make a rocker out of raffle ticket numbers and licence plate numbers is number 1 in my book. |

| "Git It, Beau Jocque" is almost indescribably good music. It isn't that polite, lightweight zydeco you see in some movies and hear on some CDs. This is gut bustin high energy zydeco with an electric bass line that never quits - powerful and compelling all at once. Bass and accordion driven music of such intensity and life you wonder how they could POSSIBLY survive a whole set. I have several other B.J. CDs that are very good, probably 4-stars, but "Git It..." is something special. This is an incredible document of an amazing music performance - a treasure. |
