"Great, upbeat swing. I can't stay seated when I listen to this cd. I have to get up and dance. I especially loved Swing Sweet Pussycat."
Swing fans will love it!

Where's "Goin' Out of My Head"?

"Yeah, I've seen this movie several times and that version of Dr. John is not the one played in the movie. It's a completely different song, with the same song title. If you don't believe me, just pop in the DVD and see for yourself. Then you'll be like, "Dude, this guy was right!" and if you're a female, you'll be like, "O.M.G.... that guy was right!""
Awesome CD

"I have to admit, when I saw the movie a week or two ago, I fell in love with the music, and had to have the CD. I wasn't disappointed- if you like swing, this CD is the greatest- it rocks! Introduced me to a lot of artists I didn't know about, and it's great to dance to!"
