Our Take

Ah, Queen Ida, the accordion-playing queen from Louisiana who has brought her infectious blend of zydeco and Cajun music to the streets of San Francisco. Queen Ida In San Francisco is a delightful romp through the lively sounds of the Bayou, with Ida's accordion leading the charge alongside her band the Bon Temps Zydeco Band.

The album kicks off with the foot-stomping "My Girl Josephine," a rollicking tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record. With its jangly guitars, thumping bassline, and infectious accordion melodies, it's impossible not to tap your feet along to this one.

Tracks like "Le Sud de la Louisiane" and "Bon Temps Roulez" showcase Queen Ida's mastery of the accordion, with her nimble fingers dancing across the keys and her smooth vocals weaving tales of love and loss. The band behind her provides the perfect backdrop, with tight rhythms and soulful harmonies that bring each song to life.

But it's not all fun and games on Queen Ida In San Francisco. The haunting ballad "J'ai Ete au Bal" shows a more tender side to Queen Ida, with heartfelt lyrics and a melancholy accordion melody that will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, Queen Ida In San Francisco is a joyous celebration of Cajun and zydeco music, brought to life by the legendary Queen Ida and her talented band. So grab a beer, kick off your shoes, and let the good times roll with this rollicking album.
