Rockie Charles – Festis Believe in Justice – Born For You (1996 release- Orleans Records)) We lost another legend. Rockie Charles, writer, vocalist and guitarist passed away on March 12.  Rockie, a great soul singer and guitarist died at 67 after a long battle with cancer.  He was 67, born Charles Merrick in Boothville, Louisiana, November 14, 1942.  Played for years at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Cafe in New Orleans.  In the 1960′s he hit the road backing O.V. Wright, Percy Sledge, Otis Redding and others.  In recent years Rockie was a member of the great collection of artists that performed at the Ponderose Stomp.  Some of my fondest memories are seeing him at the Ponderosa Stomp in Memphis and at Margaritaville in New Orleans.

Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band is back with a new live CD entitled, “Live at Knuckleheads, Kansas City” (Swampadellic Records). Why record a Louisiana Band in the Midwest? The Zydeco “pockets” are everywhere up North. Some of the most ravenous fans are located throughout the Midwest and on the East Coast. Kansas City, MO was the location for this spectacular live recording, on what sounded like a very hot summer night in July 2007. Coming from a family raised in Zydeco, Chubby delivers a true swamp groove that is only found in a few select players’ repertoire.

Like his dad, Roy Carrier, Sr., Chubby keeps it moving with little room for slow waltzes. On this CD he pays tribute to the king of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier with his high speed rendition of “Tule Ton Son Ton.” Sprinkle in some hard nose blues like “Rock Me Baby” and songs like “Who Stole The Hot Sauce” and you are ready for some dancing and gumbo (Tab Benoit & Anders Osborne’s – “We Make A Good Gumbo”). The live set list continues with covers of the War classic “Cisco Kid” and the Who’s “Squeeze Box.” I’ve always said that Zydeco music needs to be heard live. Fortunately for us this CD finishes with the best of all Zydeco instrumentals, the “Zydeco Boogaloo.” If you’re a Zydeco newcomer or a veteran of the Zydeco Circuit I know you will enjoy this great new release.

As of right now I don’t see any performances for Chubby Carrier that are very close to Rochester, NY. However you can catch his dad, Roy Carrier, Sr. at the Harmony House
with Blues Legend Joe Beard at the “Showdown In Flower Town” on June 28th.
