This is Dancehall Zydeco, coming from bluesy tradition infused with saxophone with modern American life in the 21st Century. It looks toward the future while keeping a respectful eye toward the past.Now in his early 70's, T-Lou sounds youthful and invigorated, sometimes smooth and relaxed, at other times urgent and insistent and always soulful and heartfelt. You see, T-Lou is a fine dancer, so he insists that his music be in the pocket for the dancers.
His most recent recording effortlessly melts blues, country, rock 'n' roll, funk, R&B and rockabilly into Zydeco, creating a fun and ultimately danceable mix. It's hard not to tap your feet and smile as you listen to Crabwalk, Dirty Rice or Wobble Wobble. And who else would write a song about a woman he runs into a woman Hitchhiking on the 405, on her way to dance the Country Zydeco with the Bon Temps Social Club in San Diego
The music is all about the dancing for T-Lou, and having a good time with family and friends. It's about sharing the joys of life and also its pains (listen to My Baby's In Heaven Tonight) with those you love and who love you. But even in pain, T-Lou finds a calm peacefulness that is reassuring and beautifully soulful.
And it's this love of life and laughter that comes through loud and clear in T-Lou's music. So drink deeply from this well. It'll make you feel rich and satisfied. It'll make you smile. It'll make you dance in your seat or on your feet. Feel the joy and pass it on.
