Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience
The most unique stylist in the genre; Simien falls outside any zydeco camp you care to mention. His genius stems from his uncompromising originality, progressive spirit and willingness to tackle what others deemed absurd.
- Offbeat MagazineA rising zydeco star, Simien is more than just a one dimensional party band whose soulful ballads could hold their own against Aaron Neville and Sam Cooke.
- Los Angeles TimesSimien is a Zydeco Master: his voice yearning like Sam Cooke, he delivers soul worthy of Stax greats and shows crossover class.
- Rolling StoneThis CD cements Simien’s standing as the most creative and diverse musician in modern zydeco.
- Ted Drozdowski, Amazon Pro ReviewHe’s got a voice from God, an easy hippie-fied stage presence, and this CD is a great window into the soul of a very talented man.
- PopMattersAn alluring zydeco talent.
- The Village Voice, since 1955I did not have a clue about what I was about to see, and wondered why I’d never experienced this before. It was like seeing a rainbow for the first time.
- D.H. Charlotte, NCSimien is one of the finest zydeco artists to emerge from South Louisiana.
