A fun mix
Jim Hawkins | Sacramento CA | 06/21/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Sad to see how the swing craze has died off, it produced some really great stuff.



This album is a nice mix of several more obscure swing bands, and the songs are a good range of styles and material. If you enjoy swing, this CD should be satisfying. I bought it on a whim and have enjoyed it. Some highlights to watch out for: "Ruby Mae" by Indigo Swing, where the talented musicians from that now-defunct band create the musical sound of riding the rails on a cross-country train, and "Tossin' and Turnin'" by the Cigar Store Indians, a rockabilly romp reminiscent of Brian Setzer when he was still with the Stray Cats.



Indigo Swing's stuff is still available too, and is great. Their latter two albums, "All Aboard" and "Red Light!" are well worth a listen--or several. Enjoy :)"
