Take a tour through Creole country aboard the Choo Choo Boogaloo. Zydeco extrordinaire Buckwheat Zydeco has fashioned an appealing children's album that family members of all ages will really enjoy. Material commonly associated with children is represented with such favorites as "Skip to My Lou" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad," among others. Thrown into the mix are some clever and engaging new originals, all with Buckwheat's trademark Cajun sound. This is a delightful and fun-filled introduction to the unique music and customs of the Louisiana bayou. ~ MusD minimize
