Ever since Clifton Chenier generated his Creole sound of accordion-and-saxophone rhythm & blues, southwest Louisiana has been swamped with hard-working road warriors who have continued to modernize the sound and keep the roadhouses and bars of the bayous jumping. Accordionist Nathan Williams has become one of the hardest working of these musicians, and Let's Go! continues his path from zydeco to rock & roll. The band is down to one original Cha Cha (Mark Anthony Williams on the rub board), and the focus on electric guitar licks and a bass-and-drums rhythm section pushes the group farther to the center of the swamp-pop scene, but this is still rousing good-time music, with Williams's heartfelt vocals telling the great stories common to most pop music: wine, "little girls," busy or lonely Saturday nights, heartbreak, and hard work. No pretensions, just good-rockin' good times. --Louis Gibson

Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas have put out an album that keeps you on your feet dancing. The songs are top notch. The backing band behind the great accordian sounds from Nathan Williams are a perfect blend. This is the real deal if you want zydeco music. Get it!!!!!!
Lets Go! Proves to Push Zydeco Further February 23, 2000
Tom Korkidis (Boston, MA)
On Lets Go!, singer/songwriter/accordionist Nathan Williams utilizes his contemporary Zydeco inventiveness by throwing hints of reggae, R&B, pop, and blues into the traditional Zydeco mix. Williams, a soulful baritone, progresses in this genre (once again) by throwing instantly infectious melodies at you while the rhythm section holds the groove down. You can here the bands diversity on cuts like "Everything Happens for the Best" (where hints of reggae come through) or "Hard Times" (Williams shows his natural vocal prowess with a down home blues moan). What becomes immediately apparent while listening through Lets Go! is that most of the tunes are instantly hummable and recognizable, yet they never tend to flounder after numerous listens. Nathan Williams may not be the most well known Zydeco artist, but his songwriting leaves him at the forefront amongst the seasoned vets.
