5.0 out of 5 stars COOL, SWINGING, JUMPING ALBUM!!, June 4, 2001

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MUSIC THAT'LL GET YOUR TOES TAPPING, AND BASICALLY PUT YOU A GOOD SWINGING MOOD, THEN "WHEELS START TURNING" IS SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY. RARELY DO YOU FIND AN ALBUM WHERE ALL THE SONGS ON IT ARE WORTH LISTENING TO. THE BLUES JUMPERS HAVE AN OLD SCHOOL BLUES SOUND TO THEM THAT'LL PUT YOU IN A GOOD UPBEAT MOOD. IT'S VERY SELDOM I GIVE AN ALBUM 5 STARS, BECAUSE THERE AREN'T MANY OUT THERE WORTHY OF 5 STARS.

4.0 out of 5 stars a really good sound, August 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wheels Start Turning (Audio CD)

This band has their own, great sound to add to the modern swingers. The singer's voice is unique -- so unique that, unfortunately, you have to be in the mood to hear a whole album of it. But when you are in that mood, watch out! All the musicians know their stuff. It's great that so many swinging bands are giving us a range of musical sounds, and this is one to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jump-Blues At Its Best!, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wheels Start Turning (Audio CD)

Out of all of the Swing albums released in the 90s "Wheels Start Turning", the Bules Jumpers debut CD is one of the best. No one in America has captured the energy of classic Jump-Blues, like the Bules Jumpers. Every track on this CD is a gem. One of the best things about this band is the unique vocal stylings of Eldrige Taylor. While Eldrige rivals the stylings of 40s-50s Jump-Blues master Wynonie Harris the rest of the band is so tight with thier playing that every song on this CD is guarenteed to fill the dance floor. The best tracks on "Wheels Start Turning" are hard to seporate from the average ones because they all have their special values. The Jumping tracks are "Wheels Start Turning, Chicken Wing and Chartruse". But Swing isn't all about just doing arials and sidecars on the dance floor, this album also includes some great ballads, "Where you found me" is a great broken heart reflection of a lost love. "Jim Bean" explores the lack of motivation on those days when you just don't feel like going to work. Grab this CD while you can and catch the band when you are in the NYC area. Becuase artists like this are few and far between.
