Geno Delafose and French Rockin Boogie - "Everybody's Dancin'"
To this day, Geno still performs in many of the same dancehalls and churches that he visited as a child in his father’s group. Geno Delafose and French Rockin’ Boogie are no strangers to the stage. Performing a rigorous one hundred fifty shows each year has left the band in a rigid state of exactness. Cut after cut the group is right there, turning on a dime with each spicy lick emitted from Geno’s squeezebox. Everybody's Dancin' released May 13, 2003 on Times Square Records, is Geno's fourth release. A significant portion of the release is dedicated to reinterpreting Creole standards like "Le Bluerunner" and "He-Haw Breakdown", in the band's modern Zydeco vernacular. Fiddle--player Michael Doucet of BeauSoleil-America's most-popular Cajun group-is featured on three tracks. Geno-who was just awarded Best Zydeco Artist at the 2003 Big Easy Awards in New Orleans-is not afraid to share his recipe for Zydeco with other approaches. Receiving the same progressive musical attention as the Creole standards are the old-fashioned waltzes, two-steps, blues, and soul numbers that decorate the album. The fact that each cut was recorded in one or two takes is further evidence of the band's unyielding proficiency. 06/08/03 >> go there
