<"b00005nvkt7499"> Amazon.com Best of 2001
Call this the new zydeco. Sean Ardoin, who was a drummer in a band with his brother, has created something as funky as New Orleans's legendary Meters, as greasy as early '70s Rolling Stones, and fired by the spirit of the late Clifton Chenier. So, while he respects tradition (and leads from the front, with some excellent accordion and vocals), Ardoin--whose forebears include the seminal zydeco figure "Bois Sec" Ardoin--puts forth some mighty vocals and accordion playing, while electric guitar (with a strong Isley Brothers influence) and Bootsy Collins- style bass are equally prominent. It's no exaggeration to call this the zydeco release of 2001, as it takes the music to a place where it's down-home and feels perfectly comfortable, but to which it has never traveled before--quite a remarkable achievement for a debut. --Chris Nickson

"The best contemporary zydeco recording I've ever heard."

<"b00005nvkt4999"> Album Description
Sean Ardoin represents both the rural roots and progressive future of Louisiana's foot-stomping Creole zydeco sound like no other artist. Sean's family is truly zydeco royalty: his great-uncle Amédé was the first south Louisiana Creole accordionist to record; his grandfather Bois-Sec has been one of the best-known practitioners of the state's rural Creole sound for six decades; his father Lawrence brought the family's sound to his generation; and Sean co-led the acclaimed zydeco outfit Double Clutchin' with his younger brother Chris.

His national debut "Pullin'," strikingly announces that a great new songwriting and performing talent has emerged from southwestern Louisiana. His ZydeKool sound is at once propulsive and irresistible, filled with pop hooks and driving dance beats. Many see him as the future of zydeco, and a natural to crossover to a wider audience. Sean’s new release, "Pullin'," captures his signature sound in all its glory. He wrote, arranged and produced every cut on the album in addition to singing and playing both accordion and drums, and his inventive compositions build on the legacy of zydeco innovators such as Beau Jocque and Keith Frank while showcasing Sean's innovative vocal arrangements and his funk and R&B influences.

Sean believes his association with Tomorrow Recordings will bring his music to an even larger audience hungry for his no-holds-barred zydeco sound. "Tomorrow Recordings is unique because it's an artist-owned label," Sean notes. "And that artist, Buckwheat Zydeco, is not only the biggest-selling zydeco artist of all time, he's also one of the genre's greatest songwriters and performers."

With the release of "Pullin'" and a steady stream of national as well as regional touring ahead, Sean Ardoin -N- ZydeKool plan to be "Pullin'" old and new fans – and zydeco dancers and radio listeners worldwide – deeper into their sound.
