Clifton Chenier - Baby Please Dont Go

Review by Christopher Gagne

The album Baby Please Don't Go by Clifton Chenier is a classic example of the blues genre. The Louisiana-born musician is known for his mastery of the accordion, and this album showcases his skills in a variety of blues styles. The album is a compilation of tracks from various recording sessions in the 1960s and 1970s, and it features both original compositions and covers of classic blues songs.

The album opens with the title track, "Baby Please Don't Go," a classic blues tune that Chenier infuses with his own unique style. The accordion is front and center, providing a driving rhythm that is complemented by Chenier's soulful vocals. Other standout tracks on the album include "Zydeco Cha Cha," a lively dance number that showcases Chenier's ability to get a crowd moving, and "Black Gal," a slow, bluesy ballad that highlights his emotive singing.

Baby Please Don't Go is a must-have for any fan of the blues or zydeco music. Chenier's talent and passion are evident in every track, and the album is a testament to his legacy as one of the greatest musicians of his generation.
