Playlist: Rosie Ledet, ‘The Zydeco Sweetheart’

Thick legs, cute face, and rocking a squeezebox. Tell me you ain’t horny right now.

I’m about to fly back to L.A. after two months in New Orleans. Let me mark the occasion by spreading some of the Louisiana flavor of Rosie Ledet, the biggest female star in zydeco music.

Click the titles below to stream the music on my Vox blog.

1. “Roll It Over”

2. “C’est Tout Finis (It’s All Over)”

3. “Cutie Pie”

4. “You Can Eat My Poussiere”

    UBM,

    Wow, thanks. I've been (secretly) a zydeco fan for a while now. So finding out about Rosie is very nice.
