USA Today
A zydeco trailblazer with a soulful bayou-steeped set of originals and covers.

New York Times
Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural leads one of the best bands in America. A down-home and high-powered celebration, meaty and muscular with a fine-tuned sense of dynamics…. propulsive rhythms, incendiary performances.

People
“A propulsive, rollicking, swamp-boogie joy ride.”

OffBeat
Stanley ‘Buckwheat’ Dural, Jr. is the leader of the world’s hottest zydeco band. Buckwheat is 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.

Living Blues
The entire work is a vibrant testament to Buckwheat Zydeco's spirit, reminding us that Louisiana's musical heritage has taken all the hurricanes could give. This is an album that can introduce a new generation of music fans to the world of zydeco music and serve as a wonderful reminder about what a great zydeco band can do.
