5.0 out of 5 stars Only Five Stars?, May 15, 2009

By	"A" is for... (Yorba Linda, CA United States) - See all my reviews

After living with this fine CD for a few days, I was lucky enough to hear Perry sing some of these songs in a small conference room, mid-day, with a lone (but remarkably played) acoustic guitar as his only accompaniment. And you know what...he sounds just as cool as he does on the CD. This fellow is the real deal - a natural singer with an ear for great songs. I'm a tough sell, but I'll bet that Perry has a great future ahead. If you believe in talent and not studio trickery, give this CD a try - you won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swingin' on the Moon has me over the moon!, May 5, 2009

By	Brittany Allyn (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD has me already looking forward to the next one. There's something about Perry's voice that makes me want to hear him sing about every song I've ever heard because I suspect he could make any song new to me again as he does with so many classic selections on Swingin' on the Moon. Danos has a grit, and an edge to his voice that is signature, setting him apart from Buble and also a lot of the great crooners of the past. The production and arrangements - top shelf - create the perfect backdrop. The packaging says this is a class act and the music delivers. My favorite tracks - Swingin' on the Moon, Snap Your Fingers, Somewhere over the Rainbow and Young and Beautiful. Help Yourself to one of these - hurry!

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this album., May 28, 2009

By	C. Crumrine "CJ" (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been lucky to see a few Perry Danos performances! And let me tell you- they are so much fun! What I love about Perry's album is that you can hear it in his voice how much he loves to sing. And speaking of his voice, it is so very clear, warm, and controlled. Very smoky sounding...

I bought this album and my foot has not stopped tapping since- there are lots of fast fun songs on the albums. And if upbeat music is not what your looking for, he also has the slow heartfelt songs as well- The Long and Winding Road and Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

Swingin' on the Moon is a great album! I have it on repeat in my car and at home. My personal favorite songs are the title track, Swingin' on the Moon, and Help Yourself. One minute you'll be listening to the CD, and the next you're up on your feet dancing. Strange how it happens that way... :)

Just love it! I would recommend this album to anyone anyday!
