Clifton Chenier
recorded this 73-minute performance in Lafayette, LA, on April 28, 1981, backed by
the Red Hot Louisiana Band
. That group featured
Cleveland Chenier
on rub board,
C.J. Chenier
on alto sax, and
Robert Peter
on drums; oddly, the guitar and bass players for this specific gig remain unidentified. No surprises here -- just a good energetic set by the king of
zydeco
, with a full-sounding band and pretty good fidelity. As usual, he varied the set between traditional-sounding
and numbers with a heavier
soul
and
blues
flavor (on which the saxophone comes much more to the fore), including a cover of the old
Chuck Willis
hit
"What Am I Living For."
