ok, well, i heard zoot suit riot on the radio, went out and bought the cd. I LOVED IT. so a couple of months later I bought this one, "rapid city muscle car." Quite frankly, i didn't like it. I put it away for a while. When I started to like rock and ska more, I got it back out and started listening to it. I listened to some of the tracks, grew to love some of them, avoided the rest. Then one day, I was in a, well, mood, where I just put it on, and well, more of the songs grew on me. I listened to the entire CD every day, just lettin' it run, u know. I started to learn the words and started to feel the music, and the great, let me stress that, GREAT, lyrics, got me to thinkin' this ain't no ordinary band. I would start singing in school, it was to the point where I would wanna go home just to listen to it!(if i wasn't doing anything more useful than sittin' at a friends house) I mean I have not bought a full length CD in like a year, besides the CPD! why u ask? because I didn't need to! I mean i bought singles and everything but this CD, and the Zoot Suit Riot CD have kept me goin' for like a year and a half now. So let me tell you ppl who came to read my review, if you think this cd is swing, well it is a little, but if you're like me and all you lived for was swing, consider this cd the revolution in your life. it sure changed me, and i guarantee you it'll change you- It got your swing, some rock, punk, ska, even a touch o' country. no matter, you'll love it, so buy it.

Great Cherry Poppin' Daddies. An eclectic mix -- as usual. With this kind of variety, you may not like every tune -- but, you're bound to find something new you like, if your a CPD fan.

This really isn't for complete swing fanatics. I LOVED this recording(maybe because there are more than one referances to my home town)! It has a great diverse sound that really gets your toe tapping especially if your into more of a unique retro sound ( the album was cut in 94'). As far as content, it's A+ all the way, baby!!! Not much swearing even for the punk-ska sound that they play so well, and the horn licks snuck into each track make the CD an absolute keeper! This won't be collecting much dust, unless of course it's the case because this one's a spinner...!

This is the music you can *really* get into, making the car bounce at red lights and the windows rattle at home. There is NOT ONE BAD TRACK on this CD! Buy several for gifts!

This is one of the best CDs the Cherry Poppin Daddies have ever recored. If your thinking of buying this CD, GET IT! My favorite songs are #2 Sockable Face, #6 Mr. White Keys, (Really good song) and #14 Come back to me. This is the best so get it now!

Wow is all you can say after listening to this cd wich is 10 times better than zoot suit riot for one reason, diversity, if you can find any other bands that have a swingin rockabilly song followed by a punk-ska song followed by light jimi hendrix rock then swing into funk please notify me of that band immediately. If there were 10 stars possible it would of got a ten it is flawless artistry. Plus I got this particular cd autographed so all the better

The Daddies have a great combination of punk, ska, and swing on this album. This is a must for anyone who likes blaring brass mixed with punkish guitar sounds.

Even better is that the album is named after my old hometown, Rapid City, and has a song, Skyline Drive, named after the most well known street in town. Plus Hazel SD is less than 50 miles from my home in Brookings SD.

If anyone knows what the connection is between the Daddies and Rapid City SD, please email me.

Of the four CD's this is with out a doubt the best. there isn't a song on this CD that i don't LOVE. I've had it in my CD player for the past week and haven't taken it out yet. Anyone who can't find at least one song on this they don't like is out of they're mind and has no musical taste.

If you don't love these guys from the moment you press play, there must be something wrong with your stereo. It was love at first note for me and they still make my adrenalin pump over a year(and 2 concerts) later. CPD is definately a happening band no matter what your favorite music category happens to be. And of course check out their compilation album Zoot Suit Riot.

This CD is for the true fans of Cherry Poppin' Daddies. The music has more of a modern beat than from when Swing was "in" back in the day, which is really cool. Some of the songs are repeated from their other CD's, but that's ok because you can never get enough of them!!
