5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREATES CD's OF ALL TIME.......2001-09-18

Well now this is one of the best CD's in my collection of over 1,500 CD's. Is it better than Pet Sounds? Sgt Pepper? Herman's Hermits best? well er ...no but this is a great CD.
Buy it now!
Better yet buy all his product and see him live as he is really the hardest working man in show business. Look up Jim Green and the Deligates as they are in this class also...

5 out of 5 stars Call it whatever you want. I call it great music........1999-06-06

I happened to hear this band on the radio and--since it was sold out at Tower-- bought their CD online. What a treat! I am a serious fan of jazz, blues and R&B music from the 30's through the 60's (even though I find those categories misleading and constraining). What I have heard from other so-called "neo-swing" bands has left me unimpressed, to put it mildly. What I hear in Ron Sunshine and Full Swing's music is a true appreciation and knowledge of the history of American music, and the skill (musicianship, songwriting, and actual SINGING) to bring this all across to the listener. This CD has not left my CD player since I bought it, and I plan to buy a second copy for my car. The original songs sparkle with intelligence, and seduce you with warmth and graceful energy. The covers are respectfully done, without a hint of the cheesily ironic tone that distinguishes most of the other contemporary "swing" acts. And, (hello!) the man can actually sing. Buy this CD. You won't be sorry. I hear they are touring. If they come to LA, you can bet I will be there.

5 out of 5 stars Ludvika Swings BIG Mr. Sunshine!!!.......1999-05-03

We are large fans for Full Swing. Never will be "Enough For" Ron Sunshine music's in Sweden! Maybe group will tour sometime and we can dance to concert? Straight Up is STRONG!
