"There are so many good, hooking songs on this CD it's impossible to mention them all. I first heard these songs ten years ago and they're still with me, despite the many times I've lost the CD (and bought new ones)."Don't You Feel My Leg" is one of the most original American songs I've ever heard, and the musicianship is just awesome. I hear this song and am transported back in time -- and to New Orleans mind you...Elvis Costello's cameo song is also great: "That's How You Got Killed Before" hasn't been covered by any of the new Swing bands, but it should be a standard for once and all.There's not one bad song on the CD. And so many of the songs have a strong sense of humor so if you're listening to the lyrics more than the horns you'll get a kick there -- but then, the horns are what this thing is all about: one of my favorite mental soundtracks."
A cornerstone in brass-band funk

"I first got this album in 1992. I was immediately hooked. This album is a cornerstone of music that the dirty dozen brass band have helped bring back to the spotlight. One of my all time favorites."
