Critical Praise for Jackpot!
"Buck has never sounded better, a brilliantly dexterous musician
belting it out with a terrific set of pipes while exuding consummate
showmanship…From beginning to end, Buck throws it down
and slams it sideways…"
- Offbeat Magazine
"Everybody's a winner as Buckwheat Zydeco hits the Jackpot!
(A) bouncy blast of good-time shuffles and boogie-woogie tunes.
-Philadelphia Daily News
"An accordion-driven party starter…surefire concert
staples -- sounding tried, true and road-tested. The bandleader
is in fine form throughout."
-Washington Post
"Jackpot! is as entertaining as any album he's made.
What's not to like? FOUR STARS"
-Downbeat
"By now the claim of Stanley 'Buckwheat' Dural Jr.
to the throne of late zydeco potentate Clifton Chenier is
undisputed… the sizzling "Jackpot" shows it.
Here he makes several turns as a Francophone Jimmy Smith and
further fires up an already incandescent album. Grade: A-"
-Boston Herald
"Buck has never sounded better than he does on this, his first
studio album in eight years."
-Jambase.com
"An infectiously cheery set of Dural originals…an 'encore'
masterfully travels both 'uptown' and 'downtown.'"
-Philadelphia Inquirer
"Think of the album as a Jackpot! that has more than one way
to reveal its treasures."
-Blues Revue
"The band's back on track with their first studio album
in eight years. Rejuvenated, they let the good times roll."
-Providence Journal
"Yet another reason why Buckwheat Zydeco is often called 'America'
greatest party band.'"
-Relix
">No one's better at getting a party started."
-Cleveland Scene
"This is unadulterated party music… The record is filled
with Dural's throaty singing and fiery accordion and Hammond
B3 work."
-Detroit Metro Times
"Jackpot! is clearly worth the wait. Easily one of
the best discs of Dural's illustrious career…delivers
proof positive that he's the undisputed king of zydeco."
- Barre Montpieler (VT) Argus
"He's Buckwheat, dammit! Respect that."
- The Houston Press
