4.0 out of 5 stars Swing At Last, March 29, 2005

By	Shawn G. Martinson (Utah USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great cd for swing music. The music is very fast, upbeat and bright. It is very nice to see some interest in this genre again. The only caution about this cd is that some of the themes of the songs are highly questionable for a younger audience. Otherwise, grab your sweetheart, your fedora, a great zoot suit and hit the dance floor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Damm Good Swing Cd., August 3, 2002

By	"drummingman" (Stafford United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is a damm good swing cd. Don't listen to the other reviews saying that its Ska. There are only traces of Ska in tracks such as Dr Bones, and Pink Elephant. The band is excellent but they do have a habit of adding extra horns and a piano player don't get me wrong these sound great but it makes me wonder if they would sound as good live. As for the lyrics some may find them offensive but in that case don't buy the cd. My opinion? I thought that the lyrics fitted in well with the songs and the style of music. If you like Neo Swing and bands such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Royal Crown Revue then this cd is defiantly for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE This CD!, March 18, 2005

By	daiseygatzke (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) - See all my reviews

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this CD. I gave it 5 stars because that's all I could give. It's worth at least 10. The Cherry Poppin Daddies re-created swing music, making it more interesting and fun for the younger generation. I wish that other bands would do the same for some of the other older genres of music. It is refreshing to hear such a wonderful, upbeat spin on the classic swing. You can dance to it, sing with it, and actually enjoy listening to it. I truly enjoy every single song on this CD. I've listened to it so much that I've literally learned every word to every song. This is a bold and daring collection of songs, there is no doubt, but the Cherry Poppin Daddies pulled it off beautifully and put it together into a CD that no true music lover should be without. Don't wait....buy it now....you won't be sorry.
