“It was so great to work with my daughter, who is so talented,” Simien said. Longtime Bob Dylan drummer and producer of Simien’s Grammy-winning 2014 album, “Dockside Sessions,” George Receli and Simien’s daughter, vocalist Marcella Simien, were part of the production.

Part of the appeal of zydeco musicians is that they are daring.
