Last time out, zydeco newcomer Donna Angelle caused an uproar with her surprise hit “Old Man’s Sweetheart” that yearned for a lusty affair with a real man like Boozoo Chavis. While that was amusing enough, the last line, “He might be too old to cut the mustard but he can still lick the jar,” delivered the ultimate knockout punch. While there are no ringers of that caliber here, Angelle’s third release does show progression as a zydeco artist. In addition to playing bass, Angelle now plays accordion, which she shares with bandmate James Prejean, Jr. The proceedings open with the snap-happy remake of “Tramp” that features Angelle and Chris Andrus (keyboards, scrubboard) sparing playfully back and forth. Two tracks later, the bouncy “Zydeco Man” is another highlight as Angelle defines the quintessential dance partner to a steady beat. Other songs (“Lollipop Lady,” “I’m Your Superwoman”) re-establish Angelle as zydeco’s steamy soul seductress. Even when there’s soul ballads like “I Want You Back” and “A Woman Needs Attention,” Angelle can still turn a zydeco feel, especially with old-school songs “Down the Bayou” and the waltzing “T-June.” Songs to make you forget about your troubles, the old-timers used to say. Still, a little more lightheartedness wouldn’t hurt here. Some songs reek of too many afternoon soap operas like the heavy “My Best Friend’s Man” where the protagonist’s old man is off siring offspring with her best friend as well as impregnating her. The themes of rejection and agonizing despair permeate throughout, same motif, same bad karma, more recycled bummers. It’s hard to head for the dance floor when you’re still looking for that box of Kleenex.
