Boogie Woogie Zydeco is an album by the American band Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, released in 1991.[2][3] The album was part of the zydeco revival of the late 1980s and early 1990s, and was noted for its especially fast tempos and rock elements.[4][5][6]
The album was recorded in Evanston, Illinois.[7] The band wrote 12 of the album's 15 songs.[8] "Good for the Goose" is a cover of the Rockin' Sidney song; "Dog Hill" is a cover of the Boozoo Chavis song, while ""Madelaine" is a traditional song.[9][10][11] The two washboards heard on the album were played by Carrier's brother and cousin.[12] Rodney Dural, Buckwheat Zydeco's nephew, played bass on Boogie Woogie Zydeco; David LeJeune played guitar.[13][14]
