Description
Lil' Brian and The Zydeco Travelers -- who have gained a reputation as the most innovative and musically accomplished young zydeco band - have released their new album, Funky Nation. It is the band's boldest statement yet that zydeco can be a cutting edge sound as vital to a new generation of fans as it has been for longtime buffs. Significantly, it also represents the first time Stanley, "Buckwheat" Dural -- of the genre's top band, Buckwheat Zydeco -- has produced another artist. And, Funky Nation is the first album by another artist to be released on Dural's own record label, Tomorrow Recordings (distributed by Alternative Distribution Alliance.)
"We believe in Lil' Brian and The Zydeco Travelers," says Dural, "and we think Funky Nation will make a believer out of people all over America, too. There is no limit to Lil' Brian's future. He can take zydeco to another level."
The undisputed capital of Lil' Brian Terry's Funky Nation is the hamlet of Barrett Station, Texas -- B.S.T. to those in the know. This unprepossessing, well kept, Texas crossroads just outside Baytown and not far from H-Town (Houston) is smack dab in the middle of East Texas zydeco country. The Creole people of this part of the country, most with strong Louisiana roots, are at least as ardent about zydeco as their neighbors across the border in Louisiana. The clubs, festivals and radio there pulse with zydeco rhythms both traditional and new, enjoyed by young and old.
