J.J. Caillier has seen his share of Zydeco Music, from the eyes of someone introduced and immersed in Zydeco Music and Creole culture and as a struggling, now seasoned and highly successful musician. He literally grew up under the tutelage and apprenticeship of his father Mr. J.J. Caillier II, an accomplish producer/promoter, entrepreneur, and D.J., by working in his father’s Zydeco and Blues Record store. This unique experience, has helped shape, develop and define the musical approach of J.J. Caillier and the Zydeco Knockouts, turning the group into one of the most consistent, yet under rated, Zydeco outfits to emerge within the last five years. Do You Wanna Dance is clearly the group’s best and most polished work to this date, and has paved the way for J.J. Caillier & the Zydeco Knockouts to be heard and seen by wider and growing fan base.
