Notes
Since there aren’t many female zydeco singers, the very existence of Rosie Ledet is noteworthy. Fortunately, her debut album, Sweet Brown Sugar, shows that there’s a reason to be interested in her outside of sheer novelty. Ledet proves herself to be a strong songwriter and an energetic accordionist on Sweet Brown Sugar. Her voice may be a little too restrained for some tastes, but she makes up for that with her propulsive, infectious instrumental work. Her songs suggest that she could develop into a distinctive lyrical voice in her own right. All in all, it’s a fine debut.
