We performed July 12, 2008 at the Bastille Days Festival in Milwaukee, WI, - smack in the midst of our summer tours. The Zydekats were unaware they were being recorded. We happened to catch this show, featuring one of our most energetic live shows to date! Submitted for the GRAMMY 2009
"Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album"
"Lisa has the Spirit in her, big time! Her music just plain grabs you and takes you over!"
- Keb'Mo', multi-Grammy winner, co-producer of“Talking to the Sun.”
This is Lisa's fourth album, songs reflecting her Zydeco/Christian life.
This album was released on Ryko/Warner eight days before 9/11. The resulting tumulteous time for the music business made "Always Be Your Guide" an anthem for hope for America.
This is the first album by Lisa Haley & the Zydekats. Originally intended to be a four-song disk, her World-Class band finished those songs in one afternoon.
With three remaining days of studio time booked, the band recorded an entire album of Americana/Cajun/Zydeco music, influenced by Lisa's long-time mentor, Cajun accordion Legend Joe Simien.
This live-recorded album is the start of a lasting legacy of Neo-Zydeco ala Lisa Haley.
A live CD of "Americana Zydeco" that will have you dancing on the table. 21st Century Louisiana music at its finest. Lisa has worked with Sir George Martin (Beatles producer), multi-Grammy winner KebMo', Brian Setzer, and John Hiatt.
