Brought Swing to the 90s.......2007-03-12

The song Zoot Suit Riot brought Swing back to mainstream in the mid-90s, with it's ubiquitous radio airtime, that in turn spawned swing clubs across the country. That said, this album has a lot more to be said for it. Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line, Here Comes the Snake, Drunk Daddy, Brown Derby Jump and Shake your Moneymaker are all now mainstream Swing songs. Indeed, looking at this album, it has so many great songs it reads like a Greatest Hits album. Essential for any swing CD collection for both it's impact to the genre, as well as the quality of the music.

zoot suit riot.......2006-11-03

I was introduced to this band by a friend, and have loved them eversince. This is the first album i heard of theirs and i must admit that it's one of my favorites.

lacking a little.......2006-08-12

Overall, this is a good album and has a number of cool songs on it, which is why I rated it 4/5. "Drunk Daddy" is one of my favorites. =D

But, it was lacking a little. "Mister White Keys", "When I Change Your Mind", and "Come Back to Me" were't the greatest tracks I've heard. I didn't care for them.

It could have also been a little longer. I would have liked to have seen "Irish Whiskey", "Suicide Kings", and "We'll Always Have Paris" on there. =)

To me, it just doesn't qualify as a Greatest Hits album for this. It's good, but not for a Greatest Hits album.

Exellent space-age 50's/60's lounge music with mystique.......2006-07-26

This cd is classic from beginnign to end. It reiks of martinis and hookah smoke, if you ever have a hookah party this cd is perfect background music, it's also great bachlor pad music, and martini party music. I listen to it whenever I make the L.A. to Vegas roadtrip. It is not traditional swing, but it is swing-dixieland-50's lounge-fusion, in fact there are more hints at dixieland music, than swing on this disc. The music is also very much influenced by lounge lp's of the 50's-60's especially the space age pop stuff. This cd has more in common with the music of Esquivel than Glenn Miller. The Sammy Davis Jr inspired "Come Back To Me" is awesome(though they say its Sinatra inspired). Zoot Suit Riot was a hit and has that 90's(Royal Crown Review. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Brian Setzer) swing sound, however I like the dixieland Louis Prima drenched Cherry Poppin Daddy Strut(I'm a Cherry Poppin Daddy Now), and Here Comes The Snake, which sounds so Sam Butera. Great fun disc!!! For it's unique genere it deserves 5 stars.
