Various Artists: Alligator Stomp Vol 1 - Cajun and Zydeco Classics
Genre: Cajun and Zydeco	Dates: 50's - 90's

Whether you want to admit it or not, frog-haters, France has made at least five great contributions to our culture: the political and philosophical education of our founding fathers, New Orleans, the invention of cinema, existentialism, and the roots of the cajun and zydeco music expertly anthologized here. The accordians, fiddles, washboards, and party-exaltin' vocals will have you craving crawfish etouffe even if you have burgers on the grill, and maybe—just maybe—you've loosened up enough to accept Rockin' Sidney's "My Toot Toot" and Rusty and Doug's "Diggy Liggy Lo" as stone wang-dang-doodle classics, rather than the annoyances you once callowly considered them. Special attraction: Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco
