From time to time, people ask me where they can purchase Zydeco and Cajun CDs. Very few local stores carry much of a selection. Music Millennium is good for new releases by well known artists. The
east side store on 30th and East Burnside has the best selection. They might
also be able to place special orders, if you know what/who you are looking for.
Mail order businesses offer the best selection. My favorite is
Louisiana Music Factory. They offer the widest selection of Zydeco and
Louisiana-based music of any mail order music business I've found.
Floyd's
Record Shop from Ville Platte is also a good resource.
If these fail, try to Google a band's website. It is often the only way
to get a CD released by a relatively new band.
Finally, don't overlook sources for used CDs. Half.com and Djangos are
good options.
Stay tuned,
