You don't have to be in a swing dance club to enjoy the music on this CD. These tracks include blues, jazz, latin/salsa, dixieland but stay in the swing groove.
There's jitterbugging with "She's the Most". Tom Whalens slick guitar in the bluesy "I'm Here To Tell You" and "Mean Old Frisco". If you want a slow ballad with slow dancin then its "All of These Things". Fine, fine vocals by Megan Keith.
"He Ain't Got Rhythm" shows some sax & trombone with dixieland undertones. Do you want to hear some latin & percussion with a Santana like guitar? Then its "I'm Obsessed".
And, how do you critique " Mean Streets"..... there's some doo-wop, some blues, cool jazz and great harmonic vocals. The instruments are Bass, guitar and a touch of flute. The flutist is Collin Tilton. The sax and flute musician on Van Morrison's
"Moondance" album..... enough said?
Swing demands the right rhythm's, the right vocals/harmony and fine musicians. "Hey Sailor" does it all!!!!

The music on Hey Sailor! is great. Last week I drove 300 miles and the songs kept me singing and happy the entire drive. Cynthia Lyon's songs are amazing. Every album gets better and better. I cannot reccommend a better album to give as a gift or just keep you in a GOOD mood.
