Putting the GRRRRR back in Swinger Baby
Spectacular disc! So many great songs. A perfect blend of 60's Motown and Groovin 70's dance music. The best songs would be Psychedelic Girl, The Catwalk, and Enough. The music is much easier to digest lyrically than Beck's "Midnight Vultures". Mike Myers needs to make another Austin Powers movie so he can use this whole disc on the soundtrack.

The Frank Popp Ensemble - The Frank Popp Ensemble
Where big beat meets big band funk: The Frank Popp Ensemble. These songs seem made for the jukebox -- short, catchy, energetic. Their retro chic is fully of shimmy and jiving, from the wild Hammond organ of "Mullet King" or the full-on soul horns on "Breakaway."

The Frank Popp Ensemble - The Frank Popp Ensemble, November 18, 2011
This review is from: Frank Popp Ensemble (Audio CD)
Where big beat meets big band funk: The Frank Popp Ensemble. These songs seem made for the jukebox -- short, catchy, energetic. Their retro chic is fully of shimmy and jiving, from the wild Hammond organ of "Mullet King" or the full-on soul horns on "Breakaway." And the pure fun of "Hip Teens Don't Wear Blue Jeans" is like a double-barrel of funk right in your face. It will make you shimmy, almost unconsciously, as well as reconsider your wardrobe. So what if tracks like "Goo Goo Muck" and "The Catwalk" don't really make much sense? If you want reasonable and thoughtful lyrics, go for the haunted house effects of the instrumental "The Thing Demands" or the liberation anthem "Enough." Better yet, just give into the fun.
