Comments: Brand New. Catch the contagious energy of Bad Boys Zydeco - videotaped live at the historic Tower Theatre for the Performing Arts in Fresno, California, during the 1998 Tower Mardi Gras Festival! Bad Boys Zydeco band leader Evo Bluestein launched Tower Mardi Gras in 1994. What began as a small club concert has grown into a four-day annual event - culminating with "Fat Tuesday" festivities that draw thousands and thousands of people.This concert features the original music of brothers Evo and Jemmy Bluestein. Bad Boys Zydeco formed in 1986 after Evo and Jemmy studied directly with legendary Cajun and zydeco musicians including John Delafose, Canray Fontenot, Bois Sec Ardoin, Dewey Balfa, and Dennis McGee. Salting the pot with their individual skills in blues, folk, rock, and jazz, the Bad Boys are known for taking zydeco in new directions. ...more original than most of the current crop of zydeco groups from Louisiana, and half of the songs are in French to boot ...better, more distinctive, and even more in keeping with the tradition than much of what is currently being released in the genre. - Dirty Linen Magazine. Bad Boys should be applauded for their experimentation and their willingness to take zydeco to some places its never been. - Nigel Tassell, Blues and Rhythm Magazine.
