The double CD set of Best of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys cajoles, tantalizes, teases, ensnares, bewitches, temps and charms the listener with over twenty years of sheer goodness that is the trademark of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. Brewing up an elixir made out Cajun, Creole, swamp-pop and Zydeco with dashes of rock guitar and country heartache, Steve Riley and the ever-evolving membership of the Mamou Playboys remain an American standard on the contemporary Cajun music scene.
"Spectacular arrangements of Masada compositions by mad alchemist Trey Spruance, mastermind of Secret Chiefs 3 and one of the most brilliant musicians around. Drawing upon an astonishing array of musical styles from Exotica and Surf to Ethiopian Funk and Gypsy Swing, Trey 's colorful orchestral arrangements perfectly compliment the lyricism and dynamic rhythmic complexity of Zorn's evocative Book of Angels.
