4.0 out of 5 stars I think im in love..., July 13, 2004

Wonderful CD... as Mike said up there theyre not ska, they're swing, but they're still very good if you like the style. I went to a DC talk concert, and ended up liking the W's more. The W's broke up in 2000 i think, which was a very very sad day. But good news for all you The W's fans, The lead singer, Andrew Schar, has a new band, called Alpha-Charlie. They're far from famous yet, and their style is a lot different, but they're still awesome. Visit them at www.alpha-charlie.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars Talk about a revival (in both terms)!, July 30, 2005

No way did I would ever hear any music like this except for when I was around my grandpa in the car playing the old radio stations (which I have learned to love in the past 13 years of living with my grandparents). Just recently when I turned 15, me and my christian friend were driving home, and I popped one of his CD's that said the W's on it. I had never heard of them, but when my friend told me they were more of a swing band, I couldn't help but have a piqued interest. I thought, "Hey, it's christian music, what could I expect"

All I can say is that my eyes got pretty wide listening to it. I thought it was going to be a cheasy CD I would never listen to again. Boy, was I wrong. The W's are amazing. They play swing like no other of their time, or even in the 60's. Plus, it's adding in a good christian feel to it. I know they didn't have christian swing back then, but times have changed, and thank God they have! I loved "The Devil is bad" which is pretty much the only song I listen to now that I have it. The others are pretty good too, like "Moses", but not nearly as catchy as the earlier mentioned. Awesome! It's a revival of music, and christianity! LOL
