Arhoolie CD-347

2011 GRAMMY HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame was created to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old. Recordings are reviewed annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts and final approval is made by The Recording Academy Trustees.

“These musical treasures have brought us timeless recordings and each of them deserves to be memorialized. These recordings are living evidence that music remains an indelible part of our culture.” – Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy.

“This was probably the most perfect recording session I ever had with Clifton Chenier and involved the best version of the Red Hot Louisiana Band during Clifton’s long career as the King of Zydeco. This CD includes the entire session, most of which originally appeared as Arhoolie LP-1076 and which Rolling Stone Record Guide gave a five star rating : “Indispensable: a record that must be included in any comprehensive collection.”

– Chris Strachwitz
