If you ever walked into Bethesda's Twist & Shout when Roy Carrier and the Night Rockers were pumping out the zydeco, then you know just what to expect from the band's new album "Nasty Girls." It's a raucous and relentless invitation to dance. No matter that the CD's sonics border on bootleg quality, recorded live, primarily at the Twist, the album's mix isn't muddy enough to conceal the band's propulsive thrust, much of which stems from the bellows of Carrier's accordion, or obscure guitarist Raymond Randall's flair for overlaying the beat with some sly and soulful blues licks. True to form, the tunes are strictly boilerplate bayou, a routine mixture of party songs, boisterous chants,suggestive novelties and time-honored party favorites. The latter includes "I'm a Hog for You," which comes across as a twin tribute to, Carrier and the tune's author, the late zydeco king Clifton Chenier. The songs, however, are really incidental to the band's party mix. Infectious push-pull rhythms rule, a crashing confluence of rubboards, accordion, guitar, bass and drums. Indeed, at times the beat is persuasive enough to turn a social wallflower into a roadhouse exhibitionist.

This disc will make you crazy! This is the ultimate in live' zydeco recorded at the club Twist and Shout, the Cat's Eye Pub and the New Haven Lounge, all in the Washington,... read more
