| | Remembering Boozoo Chavis |
 | | Unfortunately, Boozoo was not used to working with a "big band" and the recording session, instead of gelling, began unraveling. | | | Boozoo's sound, unlike Chenier's, was not so much to listen to as to get up and shake a leg to. | | | And, Boozoo, associated all his life with the race track, wasn't exactly a choir boy. |

| | DooDah Review: Boozoo Chavis - (untitled) |
| | Boozoo was one of the founders of the style of music now called zydeco -- his 1954 single "Paper In My Shoe" is generally considered the first zydeco recording. | | | Boozoo's syncopated accordion provides the essential driving rhythm; in fact, three songs feature him unaccompanied, giving us an idea what the original zydeco dances must have sounded like. | | | The band sounds fine, but Boozoo is unquestionably the star. |

| | This Just In |
| | In 1960, Boozoo Chavis, a pioneer of the accordion-driven Louisiana dance music called zydeco, took a 25-year break from performing. | | | Since his return to performing, Chavis had made a number of albums for Cambridge-based Rounder Records and other labels. | | | Chavis, who was scheduled to play at Johnny D’s in Somerville on June 1, still lived in the town of his birth, Lake Charles, Louisiana. |

| | The Zydeco Road: Artist of the Month - January, 2001 |
| | Boozoo was used to performing unaccompanied, and the label wanted a more commercial sound. | | | For nearly fifty-years, Boozoo Chavis has stayed the course by recording and performing zydeco music in his own traditional, trademark style. | | | Chavis began to play the music regularly when his mother opened a dance club. |

| | [No title] |
| | Boozoo made a tape of many of the songs on this album at a gig at the Rock’n’Bowl in New Orleans in late February, 2001. | | | Boozoo was notorious for his impatience with the recording process, but at the end of the day he didn’t want to go home. | | | Listening to this new album, there’s no indication that Boozoo would be gone only a month after the recording session, for there is, I think, an uncommon vitality and soulfulness in his performances on this album. |

| | Boozoo Chavis: 1930-2001 |
| | Boozoo's music was marked by grace and hospitality and spirit. | | | Perhaps the true value of Boozoo's music is that it actively refuted the notion that modernization is inevitable. | | | Antiquated and amazing, it made music critics and social dancers spout that Chavis was zydeco's top dog. |

| | Chavis continued to record for Folk-Star and Shuler's Goldband label sporadically through the early '60s, then retreated from the music industry until 1984, when he began performing again in Louisiana. | | | Chavis recorded a traditional song, Paper In My Shoe (which he and Shuler took writing credit for), backed by the local Classie Ballou's Tempo Kings. | | | He quickly became a local favourite and began recording for the small Maison de Soul and Rounder Records labels. |

| | Chavis, however, became disenchanted with the record business and withdrew from the music scene altogether, and instead put all his efforts into training his thoroughbred racehorses. | | | While these high-energy songs are hysterical in their content, you're not likely to ever hear them on the radio, not even in Louisiana. | | | In 1955 both Chenier and Chavis released some of the earliest known zydeco recordings - Chenier with "Ay-Tete-Fee" and Chavis with "Paper In My Shoe". |

| | Boozoo Chavis |
| | Chavis played at clubs throughout the region, but he began to suspect that he was not receiving the profit due him from his hit single, and he eventually gave up on the music business in favor of training race horses. | | | According to Greely, "Playing with Boozoo changed my life because this is music that follows the heart rather than form." Most of the songs or tunes on this CD are familiar, yet in Boozoo's performance they sound fresh and full of the energy that made this man's music so unique. | | | In summer 2000, Rounder issued compilation CD in its Heritage series, Boozoo Chavis: Johnnie Billy Goat, which offers 22 tracks, including previously unreleased live performances of "Dog Hill" and "Goin' to la maison." In the liner notes, Scott Billington supplies a biographical sketch and a discussion of the Rounder recordings of Boozoo. |

| | Boozoo Chavis Profile |
| | Boozoo Chavis has been described as "chaos on two feet," and "a little bullet of a man who runs around onstage, shouting, yelling and playing his music with a trance-like intensity." Boozoo (a childhood nickname) is one of the originators of modern zydeco music. | | | Then I traded the calf for a pony, and the pony I traded for a horse, which I sold to get the money to buy my first accordion." Boozoo began playing dances on the weekends and working as a jockey and horse groomer, racing quarter horses on the bush tracks of Louisiana. | | | Blues On Stage is a ® Trademark of Ray Stiles. |

| | It also used the rivalry between Chavis and upstart Beau Jacques to underscore the musical rift between old-timers, like Chavis, and those young lions who infused their spirited sound with rock, pop, and even rap. | | | Back in 1954, Chavis even recorded the first commercial zydeco single, "Paper in My Shoes," a hit record that sold 100,000 copies and featured his high-octane button accordion and growling vocals driven by a pumping, bass-heavy beat. | | | He released a successively fervent series of recordings on the Maison de Soul and Rounder labels. |

| | Boozoo Chavis, Down Home on Dog Hill |
| | Boozoo Chavis of Lake Charles, Louisiana, was one of the pioneers and living masters of zydeco music. | | | Its most famous practitioner, the late Clifton Chenier, played a piano accordion, but Wilson Anthony "Boozoo" Chavis favored a single-row button model of the type that gives Cajun music its famous "chanky-chank" sound. | | | The cousin of Cajun music, zydeco combines old Caribbean Creole music with soul, randb, blues and Acadian styles into a funky stew that prominently features the accordion. |
