About Cookin' With Queen Ida
Product description No Description Available. Genre: World Music Media Format: Compact Disk Rating: Release Date: 26-JUN-1989 Amazon.com If Clifton Chenier is the King of Zydeco, the Queen Ida is surely its Queen. Although she was born in Louisiana, Ida Guillory has been the reigning zydeco player on the west coast thanks to the fact that she moved to San Francisco as a teenager. Although she didn't seriously take up the accordion until middle age, Ida's star rose quickly, partly due to the fact that she is the only woman performer in what up until her appearance was a genre dominated by men. Recorded in 1989, this is her finest album, showing off her aggressive, fun-loving approach to what she lovingly refers to as "Chanky Chank" music. Blessed with a strong voice which she shows off in tunes like "C'est moi," Ida's bluesy brand of zydeco is unique. --Robert Baird
