This is the best Christmas album to come out in years! The music is bouncy, the enthusiasm of the band is infectious -- you'll be boppin' around your living room in no time flat. Some great takes on familiar classics and some fun new originals by musicians who really know how to swing.

It's purrrfect for your Holiday parties and tree trimming. With special guests including Brocolli Rob from Dem Brooklyn Bums, Eddie Nichols from Royal Crown Revue and Toxic Audio - there is something for everyone... swing, chacha, mambo and beautiful ballads... traditional and new Holiday favorites.

Oh, I love this CD. I was in my car 2 years ago listening to the morning radio duo banter away as they reguarily do. The had some band in that morning, Swingerhead, that I had never heard of before. They began "The Night Berfore Christmas" and the place just went nuts. To this day, I've never heard the morning duo go so insane at the end of a song. I was bopping and tapping away to the song myself. I purposefully went out that afternoon and scoured the city for my own copy of a Swingerhead Xmas... the jazz, the beat, the voice... Baloo would be proud!

Every Christmas, I take out the CD and listen to my favorite #3 song over and over again! It's just the best.

This CD is BRILLIANT! I play it every year as the start of the season! If you have never heard "Swingerhead" and Micheal Andrew this is a wonderful into to their music. She Could Be a SpyIf you are looking for a fun, different and unique Christmas CD with a wonderful sense of whimsy, a good feeling of nostalgia and an upbeat sound this is the one! Please check my history, you will see I don't write a lot of reviews. But I took the time here becasue I really mean it! :-) Top picks: "The Christmas Waltz" is wonderful, "Mistletoe Mambo" will get your hips swinging and "You're A Mean One, Mr.Grinch", with all the sounds of the orchestra done by the amazing acappella group, "Toxic Audio" is addictive! Enjoy!Toxic Audio

Swinghead and their featured guests bring their original sound to the classics and even create new ones. We Three Kings are appropriately Eddie Nichols (Royal Crown Revue), Broccoli Rob (Dem Brooklyn Bums)and Swingerhead's Michael Andrew. They create an instant classic for lovers of punk influenced swing.

One of my favorites is a Swingerhead original called Mistletoe Mambo. It's saucy and infused with bongo and Babaloo beats. It makes you want to siddle up to a swanky muchacha and lead her right to the mistle toe. Ai, papi!

Pass me some egg nog and get the Hi-Fi primed, cause A Swingerhead Christmas is on full rotation during all my holiday cocktail parties. Put this gem on your X-Mas list today!
