These days we rehearse and arrange new songs. Some of that, Oliver says, have more Cajun-lyrics then ever in Zydeco-Playboys . Yeah, it´s really difficult for shure, but with Daigle´s Cajun self taught,
Dictionary & Audiotapes we learn more and more about that. Thanks to Internet - we have also found a issue of Yé Yaille, Chère! from.from Francois. So - we try our best...

Dirty Linen - Folk and World Music Issue Oct./Nov. 2004:
Take a pinch of C.J.Chenier, a spoonful of vintage Nick Lowe, stir in a dollop of Los Lobos, bake ‘em in a German oven - and the resulting concoction is Zydeco-Playboys. Half the fun in listening to C-Z
recordings froma halfway across ghe globe is seeing how badly the rules are bent. In the case of the Zydeco Playboys’ splendid “Superficial Satisfaction?”, the rules are not only bent but mangled,
contorted, and frequently meltetd into an oozing glob. Accordionist Oliver Kraus, with Old-World stylings (“Into the Zydeco”, What youß´re awaitin´ for”) will never be accused of being the next
Keith Frank knockoff. But if anything, he´s closer to a Leon Sam, as evidenced by “Chili Boogie”, a relentless piano-note frenzy fueled by country-twangin´ guitars and a blistering organ attack. A couple
of tunes (“Vamos Danzar Tejano”, “Oh Rosalina”) reveal Kraus`predilection for hoppin´conjunto music. Granted, with his liberal sensibilities, Kraus may not be placating any purist notion, but
it totally works from a dance sensibility, mainly due to the crafty arrangements, infectious melodies, endless hooks, effects, and surprises. Witness the cool riding organ of “Let´s talk about” or the
tribal beating and slinky organ on “Iko Iko”. If this fails to entice you to dance like nobody´s watching, then maybe you´re like the grouchy German: a real sauerkraut.
