Lafayette, LA's Charles Adcock, known to all and sundry as C.C., has packed a lot of playing and living into 31 short years, including a major label release (on Island Records, where he was "discovered" by Denny Cordell) nearly a decade back that has since gone on to become a classic in the swamp-rock genre. His long awaited follow-up takes a leap forward, into a Lafayette where exploding boogie riffs, beat boxes, accordions and hooky pop choruses swirl around in the Louisiana mist. The Lafayette Marquis includes the legendary Jack Nitzsche's final production work, two collaborations with Doyle Bramhall II recorded with Dr Dre henchman Mike Elizondo, and plenty of studio wizardry cooked up in Producer Mic Napilitano's (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Joseph Arthur) New Orleans lair. Imagine what would happen if Clifton Chenier WERE Adam Ant. Standard Jewel Case.
