Zydeco mainstay Geno Delafose keeps the Southern Louisiana grooves coming on 2007's LE COWBOY CREOLE, a collection of straight up, satisfying zydeco fare. From the opener "Everybody's Havin' Fun" (which pretty much indicates the state of affairs for Delafose and his band and, by extension, their listeners), through the foot-tapping closer "Somebody Show Me," LE COWBOY CREOLE delivers the down-home goods. Covers of the Commodores' "Easy" and Van Morrison's "Domino" may seem incongruent at first, but Delafose delivers them with a sweet Cajun swing that makes them fit right into the party.
