Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1930, Boozoo Chavis grew up playing zydeco on the region's “Crawfish Circuit,” cutting the first-ever commercial record in the genre at 24. After a three-decade hiatus from the record business, Chavis returned, triumphant, dubbed “the king of zydeco” by the New York Times.
