Dwayne Dopsie - Bon Ton [CD]

2018 Grammy award nominee and "America's Hottest Accordion" winner, Dwayne Dopsie plays a high energy zydeco that keeps you wanting more. Dwayne hails from one of the most influential Zydeco families in the world Although inspired by tradition, he has developed his own high energy style that defies existing stereotypes and blazes a refreshingly distinct path for 21st century Zydeco music. To put it plainly, his latest release Bon Ton hits hard. The familiar, unrelenting Zydeco rhythms are met with a virtuosity unmatched by any of his peers. The old soul in his voice powers through searing guitars and the perfect assemblage of horns, yielding a particularly potent brand of rhythm and trance that only Zydeco in it's purest form can deliver. Listeners get the heart and soul of the artist with stand out solo tracks like "Chain Gang Worker," but all in all, the album is exactly what it professes to be: a high impact "Bon Ton" from one of Acadiana's most masterful lineage bearers.
