"I first discovered his music by buying Chenier LPs in New York jazz and blues record stores in the late 1960s", says Jagger. "The Stones always really enjoyed listening to his special blend of Cajun dance music. And still do."
Indeed, the Stones open Tribute to the King with their version of Zydeco Sont Pas Salés, which has Jagger singing in “Louisiana French” (a Creolised French patois) while Richards and Wood rock with abandon.

"King of Zydeco" is inspired by the music of Clifton Chenier whom Gallagher called the "B.B. King of Zydeco". Chenier died before Gallagher was able to meet him, even though they played at least one music festival together and the regret over that lost opportunity inspired the song.

The upcoming tribute album is a tribute to Clifton Chenier, whose work blurred the boundaries between blues, Cajun, R&B and French folk music. With his red accordion and characteristic washboard accompaniment, he not only shaped the zydeco genre - he revolutionized it.
