On his first totally controlled album for his own label, Toby Keith adds another title to his résumé: producer. Throughout, the former Oklahoma wildcatter, who's taken heat for his blustery patriotism and outspoken remarks, seems to be seeking new respect, shifting the focus off of politics and grandstanding and back to his talents as a musician. While his last album, White Trash with Money, found him flirting with R&B and adding horns for a bit more bump, his latest effort finds him nearly in a singer-songwriter mood, taking more time to craft the sound of the tracks and laying down his own harmonies. He's still relying on gimmicky wordplay and cartoon puffery for his full-tilt radio numbers ("High Maintenance Woman," "Big Dog Daddy"), but he also showcases the sensitive, ballad-heavy side of his personality that hasn't been as apparent since the '90s ("Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine on You," "We Were in Love"). He achieves this with some fine cowriting--the winsome "I Know She Hung the Moon" and "Walk It Off," and the lusty "Burnin' Moonlight." He also finds two excellent covers, Fred Eaglesmith's "White Rose" (which combines nostalgia for full-service gas stations with that of a teen's coming of age) and the thoughtful Craig Wiseman/Chris Wallin ballad "Love Me If You Can." The latter, a quiet social commentary, revisits Keith's familiar theme of holding one's ground, but with a far more compassionate approach than he's tried before. Consider it a meditation from a brash king of the hill who hasn't forgotten how to be humble. --Alanna Nash

Another Great One !!!.......2007-07-24

I am a huge TK fan and I think this was one of his best CD's. I have loved every one of his CD's that he has made and he knows exactly what his fans want !! He is an awesome performer and puts on great concerts and always stays true to himself !!

Big Dog Daddy.......2007-07-23

This is one of the best Toby Keith has done! I can't stop listening to it! Each song is better then the next...whata guy..what music!

Slightly Disappointed.......2007-07-21

I love Toby he's my favorite country star, yet I found this CD to be missing something. White Trash With Money was awesome I loved every song on it but this one there are just a few that just don't seem to fit. Over all though if you are a Toby fan it's worth adding it to your collection there is far more good songs than so-so ones on here.

Another Toby Keith Winner!.......2007-07-21

A great CD with lots of songs that catch you on the first listen! As with most of Toby's CDs, almost every song is a winner.

Like it, but Toby's done better!.......2007-07-20

I love Toby Keith and really like the CD, but feel Toby's had better CD's in the past. Some really great songs, but I don't feel this is Toby's best works for the CD as a whole. He's had better, but it's a good one to have in your collection anyway if you're a Toby Keith fan.

If the reggaeton revolution slowed for a second and you're not sure why, consider the comings and goings of Daddy Yankee: Three years have passed since he lit a Latino fire under the non-Latino world with "Gasolina," and despite the best efforts of vast clusters of tough-talking, body-rocking followers, only he, apparently, can keep it stoked. El Cartel: The Big Boss is a 21-track thrill ride destined to restore reggaeton's lost luster. The first few minutes creak--as intros go, "Jefe" is on the longwinded side--but from there it's a riot of bump-bumps, nemesis-bashing, and quick-tongued braggadocio. All credit to DY for again climbing atop a swirling mass of beats and remembering to swagger appealingly on the way up, but the small army of producers and friends who line up to pay the big boss respects on this disc also deserve their props: Fergie makes an impact on the Scott Storch-produced "Impacto" without forcing it in an overly mainstream direction, "Papi Lover" with Pussycat Doll Nicole Sherzinger busts out a cool bhangra-ragga vibe, and Will.i.am winds up "Plane to PR," a slight but contagious ode to Caribbean senoritas, tight. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

THE KING OF REGGAETON, DADDY YANKEE, returns with his new album "El Cartel: The Big Boss". After international platinum success with his first 4 albums, Daddy Yankee released, "El Barrio Fino", which went PLATINUM in the U.S alone, and solidified himself as the leading pioneer of the reggaeton movement. "El Cartel: The Big Boss" is the follow-up studio album everybody has been waiting 3 years for. Having enlisted super-producers such as will.i.am and Scott Storch, Daddy Yankee more than lives up to the hype and delivers his most multi-dimensional and complete album to date.

Customer Reviews:

Crossover to the American Market Gone Wrong.......2007-07-20

I've always liked Daddy Yankee, since I think he's the best latin reggaeton artist there is right now... but this album was almost like him fighting his roots, since he includes many famous singers (which none has to do anything with latin music), which is something that makes you wonder... for what market was this album really released for... something that makes me mad... since he's famous because of his latin crowd.. not the american one (and he sings reggaeton.. he's not a rapper)

Now speaking of the songs in the album... most of the reggaeton songs are good (except the one with Héctor "El Father", because it sounds like the beat was made in a bathroom with a leaking pipe), they are a little different than the songs we're used to... since the dembow(reggaeton beat) has changed.. and it's too similar to hip-hop (most of the album ), with slowed down rythms. I personally hated all of the hip hop songs in the album (since as I stated before, he's a reggaeton artist)since they sound to be directed to the american audience and not his true fans...

I just hope that's his next album goes back to his real roots... and that in his songs... he stops mentioning that he's awesome

The Big Boss.......2007-07-20

Daddy Yankee has done it again. I have not been able to quit listening to this cd since I recieved it. The music is infectious.

The unbiased opinion of an biased fan.......2007-07-14

I've spent the last 3 days listening to El Cartel: The Big Boss, and I'm happy to report that Daddy Yankee's latest is actually very good. Back track- I picked up Barrio Fino about this time in '05, and truthfully, it took about 3 months to grow on me. Since then, however, it's become one of my all-time favorite CDs, and I still enjoy listening to it. Fast forward- The Big Boss grew on me in about three minutes. What I especially like about the tracks on The Big Boss is the skillful way that DY experiments sound but somehow manages to stay true to his reggaeton roots. The CD doesn't try to be too hip hop and seems to be tailored to an "American" audience without pandering. I found the blend of English and Spanish languages well thought out, playful, and pleasant. When I hit [REPEAT]- Bring it On, Papi Lover, Plane to P.R., Impacto (sin Fergie), and Me Quedaria. Anyway, as some would say "it's Daddy Yankee, so you know it's going to be good!"

Daddy Yankee has done it again.......2007-07-08

El Cartel is a hot cd. It has a different flavor of reggaeton that makes you want to dance endlessly. Impacto of course is the most bangin' track on the cd. Some of the tracks are in English, which allows the non Spanish speaking audience the opportunity to truly appreciate this genre of music and Daddy Yankee's extreme talent. As Daddy Yankee says the King is back!

THE KING IS BACK.......2007-07-07

Excellent, just excellent. This is a new age of Reggaeton.
Almost every song is brilliant with right words.
Hope You gonna like it like I do.

Customer Reviews:

Really good! .......2007-07-02

I heard big daddy for the first time in 2001! I was blessed by them and so were the entire crew that was with us. Their lyrics are honest and they are really good musicians to boot! On this albumn, the Rich Mullins song "Hold Me Jesus" is my favorite!

This album rocks!.......2007-01-13

I have been a big fan of Big Daddy Weave for a long time, so when I saw their new album, "Every Time I Breathe" at Wal-Mart, I had to buy it. I listened to it and decided that it was one of the best cds I had found in a long time. I have listened to the song "Every Time I Breathe" over and over again and it still moves me every time i listen to it. The other 10 songs are nothing short of excellent as well. A great cd that is a little more mellow than their previous releases but still upbeat with uplifting lyrics. This cd is a definite keeper!

Great Music to the Soul!.......2007-01-12

I can listen to this CD over and over and never get tired of it. It has an uplifting message and a catchy beat. The heart of the music keeps you coming back for more and going higher every time. You'll end up singing along and dancing in your seat.

sweet, sincere band with soft hearts for the KING of Kings!.......2007-01-02

This album is incredible & very well balanced. It comes off a little more mellow than previous efforts, and just as Christ-exalting! Like Chris Tomlin, the vocals are softer and gentler than many bands, but do not lose the punchy edge that keeps big daddy weave the upbeat, Spirit-filled quintet they are. As on stage, so it is with this album, the joy of the LORD flows from the music these guys put together! PRAISE GOD! as they sing on 'every time i breathe', "...everytime i get another glimpse of Your heart, i realize, it's True; that You are so marvelous God! and i am so in love with You!..." 'all for you' rejoices in the miracle of New Life in Christ! 'when i see You' is a beautiful, melodic testament to the transforming power of Christ Jesus in the life of a believer! Praise the LORD He never lets go of His own!!! The bubbling reconstruction of the familiar hymn, 'trust and obey' is really pleasing, and breathes new life into this wonderful, God-honoring song! Of course the remakes of the Maranatha! Singers' 'let it rise', and Rich Mullins' classic, heart-felt 'hold me Jesus', are very rich, also. This is an record full of wonderful treasures. You will not regret buying this as a seasoned fan of big daddy weave, OR as a gentle introduction to this talented and sincere band's records... and DO NOT pass up the awesome experience of seeing them in concert! a WONDERFUL and ROCKIN' time, indeed!

Let It Rise.......2006-09-27

The first time I heard "Let It Rise", which incidentaly was when they performed it live at a concert I was at, I was moved. This is another great album for BDW. Could not wait to grab a copy upon its release. Love the horns on one of the tracks, and the violin too, they add just the right flavor. "Let the songs of the Lord, rise among us!" Thanks BDW!

Grunge angst got old. We wanted to have fun. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was there, ready with serviceable, pumped-up swing. Their music is straight, uptempo, dance floor jazz. There's nothing particularly original going on, but the sleazy horns and snappy arrangements get the job done. There's nothing campy or tongue-in-cheek either; the music just barrels ahead...like good rock & roll. --Steve Tignor

i love big bad voodoo daddy!.......2007-07-08

this has to be my favorite bbvd cd. great to blast in the car for any ride and to dance to.

Great Stuff.......2007-02-03

We used to see these guys play on the Nashville club circuit in the late 1990s, and bought the CD at that time. the energy of their live performances comes through on this New Orleans-style jazz compilation. From the back beat to the great rhythms, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will have you snapping your fingers, tapping your toes, and wishing you had more of their stuff. I highly recommend it.

Where did these guys come from?!.......2006-03-01

Wow! If you would like a change in pace from hiphop or rock and want to be transported back in time, check out these guys! This group creates a wonderful mix of New Orleans jazz, swing, and modern story lyrics. I only wish we could have some clubs open up in our downtowns with this sound. This group will make you move and you'll be "swinging" before you notice what's happening.

Wonderful.......2006-02-26

With bands like "Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy" they just don't get better than this. If you want to get in a good mood, lose weight, (I did. I lost 25 pounds with this band)or just feel good, this is the music to buy!!!

Couldn't be more satisfied.......2005-08-02

I went to the concert and enjoyed the music sooo much that I decided to buy the CD. My family and I absolutely love it. All of the music is so upbeat it just makes you want to dance.

Recorded in a single day at Paisley Park, Prince has confounded audiences yet again by recording a progressive jazz album with only four cuts--each named for a point on a compass--and clocking in at 14:00 minutes. If that wasn't enough, there isn't a single lyric on the almost hour-long disc. Like many before him, the musical savant has decided to let the music do the talking. But in Prince's case it does so, brilliantly. He has fashioned a musical lattice of fascinating conversations that are both compelling and eccentric--veering from the anxious and menacing to the soothing and deeply rhythmic--at times conjuring the specters of Sun Ra, at others, strangely Metallica. Begun as a mere jam session among the latest members of NPG, Prince has made his most collaborative record ever as he mostly plays guitar and leads his deft-handed band from the One Nite Alone tour into uncharted territory. They make seamless swings from "North's" ambient cohesiveness--led masterfully by Rhonda Smith's liquid bass--to the almost head-banging lumbering beast of "East," into the smooth elegant jazz of "West," which freefalls from a sinuous rhythmic R&B groove into a majestic and almost funereal slice of brainy pomp rock, before scaling the slippery slope of space rock on "South." It would be tempting to say that this is Prince's homage to his recently-deceased parents' stint in the Prince Rogers Trio, but it is far too forward sounding to only be a tribute. This is a brave step and it sounds remarkably like the future. --Jaan Uhelszki

Good Prince Instramentals.......2007-05-31

This was definitely worth the money. At first I was a little skeptical but as I listened to it over and over again I found a deeper appreciation. I think that I was expecting something else at first. This was similar to One Night Alone but just instrumental.

Better than the rest!.......2006-08-31

As a long time Prince fan, this doesn't disappoint me at all, especially after his Madhouse CDs in the 80s! Prince continues to shine on here with four instrumentals of pure jazz!

Smooth Experimentation.......2006-05-07

The problem with critics in general, is that they tend to always try to compare and completely define what they are critiquing. Take a different approach and start by accepting and feeling what is there. Prince is roguishly experimenting on this album; having a great time and sharing some musical statements with those that would listen. Laid back, smooth, soulful, jazzy, fun and moderately engaging. Shed any concept of genre and simply enjoy.

Awesome Directions in Music.......2006-04-02

This is a 60 minute terrific cd. I listen to Prince's music for a long time but I have been impressed for this smooth, jazzy, funky joint. Especially recomended to listen to at night with a fine bottle of wine and a cigar.

POWER FANTASTIC.......2006-03-31

N.E.W.S is an incredible showcase of instrumental jam-fest. John Blackwell, Rhonda Smith, Renato Neto and Eric Leeds join Prince in this 56 minute opus! Prince's N.E.W.S is a 4 track instrumental jazz style album with no lyrics. Perfect album when you have a hard day at work and want to relax. Eric Leeds delivers amazing saxophone depth! Rhonda Smith lays down some infectious bass grooves. John Blackwell is on point with solid drum beats. Renato Neto's beautiful piano will take you to cloud 9. Prince makes his guitar gently weep! N.E.W.S. is a power fantastic journey. Allstar musicians come together to create beautiful instrumental music. Quality album...I just wish there were more tracks. Prince's N.E.W.S will take you away!

Prince is just plain Prince........2006-08-09

For better or for worse, the man still has not changed much in the 22 years that I have been a fan of his. I still see that his concerts go big on the most recent material (i.e. things he has with a new album) while alot of the oldies are glossed over and played for about 15 seconds (enough just to get one refrain in):(
I swear to you, this box set is sorta the same old thing you can expect from this man. I paid $50.00 for this and got three CD's worth of music (some great, some so-so and some just overly long stuff) You mostly pay $25.00 for the music and $ 25.00 for the box itself with the booklet inside! I almost feel the rube but I am willing to give this a second chance. So far, not so pleased though:

Prince is a brilliant genius. What can you say he loves to jam. And in one of the CD's "It AINT over", there the man is playing "Girls & Boys". Which come to think of it is almost 8 minutes of him & his band and the only reason this is considered "Girls & Boys" is because the chant of "I love you baby, I love you so much" is said by the audience at the beginning of the song! How is that "Girls & Boys??!?? I love that song, but with no Eric Leeds onstage with him, that song is NEVER to be played! The same treatment is given to "Peach" ANOTHER great song which leaves U thinking "What the hell..?" Prince obviously dances to the beat of his own drummer. Lol And so it goes on.
The second CD has alot of Prince just doing his regular "slow jams" melodies and I swear you will think because you see on the CD listing for "Diamonds & Pearls" and "Do me Baby" but get ready for just 20 seconds of each song (thus, that is considered long enough for a track listing (???)) Then get ready to hear yet another over-long rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Anna Stesia". I swear, why does he love "Nothing.." so much? It was never a hit for him! It's his song so whatever...("Adore", "The Beautiful 1's", "Take me with U" and "Raspberry Beret" are given good treatments, but "Diamonds & Pearls", "Free", "Do me Baby" and "Starfish & Coffee" are given the bum-rush jobs)
Obviously, as always the man wants people to know his newer material "Muse 2 the Pharoah", "1+1+1 is 3", "Everlasting Now", "Avalanche" et al are all mostly played their entire length. That's fine, but don't be SO impatient to run through your catalogue so fast that certain songs (new or old) suffer from BEING TOO SHORT!!!!! He USED to take his time with his songs when the concerts were simpler (think Controversy tour 1981), when "Purple Rain" hit, the concerts became more rushed in my opinion.

Save the $50. This set has bad false advertising, plus it's from a period of time where Prince's "Hero" Larry Graham got too much stage time. (I thought Sonny T was Prince's hero???)

Wish I would have Been There!.......2006-08-06

Very hot, at times experimental, incredible muscicianship, and flat out funky songs! A great package, and worth every penny.

ROCKS HARD IN A FUNKY PLACE.......2006-03-31

One Nite Alone...Live! delivers rich funk, smooth jazz and powerful rock! Maceo Parker, Rhonda Smith, John Blackwell, Renato Neto join Prince in this amazing 3 disc live recording. From the opening track "Rainbow Children" to the final track "Everlasting Now" you'll be transported to another planet! Song like Rainbow Children, 1+1+1=3, The Beautiful Ones, Joy in Repetition, Take Me With U, Do Me Baby deliver the album. Amazing collection of material that will please the new fans as well as the old ones. Overall, Prince - One Nite Alone...Live! is truly one of the greatest live recordings out there! This album will not disappoint! Solid live material, beautiful music/vocals, over 30+ songs are presented. Will make a great addition to your Prince collection!

Prince One Nite Alone... Perfection Y'all.......2005-11-30

I have never heard a live concert of this nature! I am an avid Michael Jackson. Pound for Pound Prince takes his live music to an entirely different level. This music is estacy! This is absolutely a wonderful concert collection that I spent nearly 2 months looking for and then I found it at the Virgin Music Mega Store in Time Square!

I dont need to go song by song... from start to finish its an absolute roller coaster of nothing but music!

Soul, Jazz, and R&B under one roof... too much!

I've also got to say, I wasnt a Prince fan until I saw his concert live in Las Vegas. After that I was hooked!

YOU DONT NEED TO BE A FAN TO HAVE THIS COLLECTION ON YOUR IPOD!

THIS ALBUM KEEPS ME BUSY WHILE ON THE SUBWAY!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

100% FUNK MUSIC!

What A Way To Introduce Big Daddy Kane (Rating:9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-02-27

To me, I find Bigg Daddy Kane one of the most talented rappers to ever touch the mic. I've heard very little material from him, probably because I was in dipers when this man was making hits. To me, having "The Very Best Of Big Daddy Kane" is a wonderful starter kit to knowing his legacy back in the late 80's. While listening to this CD, I understand why Kane was such a big name back in the day. His flow was amazing. Every rhyme he says is on point. The linear notes inside really expains in detail about Kane's legacy from the days while he was in The Juice Crew.

Now the songs themselves are great. A lot of the songs are from his first two albums "Long Live The Kane" (1988), and "It's A Big Daddy Thing" (1989), with only a few from "A Taste Of Chocolate" (1990) and "Looks Like A Job For..." (1993). I believe his biggest hit was "Ain't No Half Steppin'" which has one of the best beats I've heard in a minute made by Marley Marl. Every rapper seems to make refrence to that song, and I can see why. Another song that really stuck out to me when I first heard it was "Smooth Operator" which also has a nice beat. And his voice in that song was deep, I see why the ladies loved the man.

We get a few treats here on this album. There is "Wrath Of Kane" that was recorded live from the Apollo Theatre, which has fans screaming at the top of their lungs showing love for Kane. I haven't heard the album version yet, but this one here is good as well. Then at the end of the album we get "Give A Demonstration" that was an outtake from his "Prince Of Darkness" (1991) album. I personally don't see how was an outtake. Hearing that song really shows Kane's versitale lyrical skills throughout that song.

So there we have it. One of rap's biggest icons best songs all here on one CD. This CD is really a starter kit to Big Daddy Kane. A lot of rappers chipped their flow off of Kane, like Jay-Z and Big L (no disrespect) and some people never realized that. All these people who listen to the radio and claim that some artist who debuted some 3 or 4 years ago is the best rapper alive really need to listen to artists like Big Daddy Kane and experience what origionality is all about. I didn't know that Kane was one of the first people to wear jewelery and drive nice cars and get upscale ladies, before everybody and their mother in rap music were doing that. Talk about one hell of a trendsetter.

There are a few tracks I want to hear though that are not on here. I heard he made a song with the late Barry White and that has me curious to what it sounds like. Also none of his songs from his last two albums "Daddys Home" (1994) & "Veterans Day" (1998) are on here...and from what I heard, they were not as good. But if you are a fan of hip hop and haven't heard of anything from Kane, this album is what you should get.

Classic Intelligence.......2006-11-01

When I listen to folks like Big Daddy Kane, it amazes me that today's rappers think they're "the best rapper alive." You have got to be kidding me! I can't think of one rapper who is on today's "hip hop" magazine covers that can outdo Kane. This man took metaphors, similes, multisyllabics, rhythm, and competition and annihilated them. I love this album. I added his page to my MySpace page and I could just sit and listen to it all day. "Smooth Operator" and "Set it Off" are my favorite cuts on here, but I could let every single one of these songs play out. I must be getting old because I'm at the point where when I want to go to a club, I specify what kind of music the deejay must play for me to even drive into the parking lot. Remember when hip-hop consisted of something past how much your car/jewelry cost and how many hoes you had? Man, those were the days!

I present to you............2006-08-31

Here he is ladies and gentleman the one who put light skin brothaz out of business for good. He had that "Jay-z touch" flow and lyrics were banging. Although CHuck-d and Rakim were the hardest he let them be and no one was in his radar when it came to being smoothe (check out smoothe operator & No half Stepping). Your collection starts here if your a Ma$e and Jay-z fan.

The BDK Starter Kit.......2006-08-23

If for some weird reason you don't know who one of the best MC's of all time is, start here. A great collection from KANE w/great variety throughout. Always FRESH!!!!

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy did more than any other band to fuel the sing revival of the '90s, due largely to the group's appearance in the 1996 film Swingers. Since then, the craze has waned, although you couldn't tell it by BBVD. If anything, the combo has approaches their fifth album with more gusto and verve than ever, infusing their old-school jive and greasy horns with a New Orleans sensibility and panache and, in the process, creating their strongest album yet. Although their songs sound like they were lifted right out of the Zoot-suited '40s, the band writes all their own material, taking swing into a raw and modern direction. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy by rights will still be here when the next wave of swing arrives. --Jaan Uhelszki

Great type of Jazz........2006-08-17

Growing up in the 50s is what I listen to, but after seeing a live show of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, I bought a CD at the show. After listening to the CD, I bought two more CDs at Amazon.com. The music has a real beat to it, and you can't help but move some with the music. It really rocks. Great stuff.

A 5 star treat indeed that is mmm delish.......2006-07-26

This cd is delightful from beginning to end, full of suprises, swing, New Orleans jazzy jump blues ,and smokey infectious vocals that are smouldering hot. Red hot horn riffs that remind one of Bourbon street. Hot tempos and exotic swinging rhythms. Let this cd voodoo your voodoo.

Fun, soulful, carefree...like the spirit of New Orleans.......2006-07-04

I can't compliment this band enough. The contagiuos beat and happy rhythms of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are contagious... Their music makes you want to dance!

I saw them perform recently at the House of Blues in New Orleans. It was an incredible show. Just prior to singing the title track of this CD, Save My Soul, lead singer Scotty Morris told the crowd that he had written the song 14 years ago. He felt he owed a debt of gratitude to the musical tradition of New Orleans. But now, post-Katrina, the song carries more meaning for him and for all who love N'Awlins.

Save My Soul is a fun, soulful, and carefree CD. Buy it. Enjoy it. Share it with those you love.

Highly recommended!

This is the Best!.......2005-01-20

I own three of BBVD's CDs and this one is the best. You just have to move those feet! I just love these guys.

Hear Oh Yeah in the PC Game Casino Empire!.......2004-10-14

I found this out accidentally! The PC game, Sierra's Casino Empire, which was released in 2000, uses an early version of the song, "Oh Yeah" as background music. I thought it was just a really cool song in a PC game (and, er, the demo, at that!) when I heard it again during the October 11, 2004 episode of the NBC TV show, LAS VEGAS. It made me more curious about the song, so I looked up the lyrics, and found that the song was actually by this truly cool band. Get the CD, buy the PC game!

Go Daddy Go!.......2007-01-24

I first saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in the movie, The Swingers, some years ago, and was curious to hear more as Swing dancing is as big as ever these days. Big Daddy pretty much sticks to the grooves, a kind of "dancabilly" that is even more infectious in this live album than on previous studio albums. For swing dancers, this is a modern take on the classic rhythms of the 40s with some pretty jazzy improvisations. Big Daddy can play and they have a lot of fun with the music, showing a tremendous amount of versatility as well as humor on these recordings. The added DVD doubles the pleasure.

voodoo magic.......2007-01-17

Wonderful music! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is a class act, whose energy and love of music is apparent not only in the sound, but in the enclosed video of one of their concerts. Their sound is catchy and original, while also being reminiscent of a bygone era.

Best of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.......2006-08-18

I love this album!!!!! Listening to this album makes you feel like you are right there at the show. The musical arrangements are great, that big band swing sound is present and the sense of humor of the bandmates is evident. You don't see any better than this is music today.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy = BIG FUN.......2006-06-25

The first word that comes to mind when I think of BBVD is FUN.

I first heard this band on the radio. I was hooked immediately...and so were my wife and children. I bought two of their CDs from Amazon.com: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Save My Soul. And we've been listening to --and singing along with-- them ever since.

My toddlers tend to sing BBVD songs in public...without inhibition! It's only slightly embarrasing to stroll the grocery store with three kids screaming out the lyrics to Go Daddy-O. But I really can't blame them. The music is contagious!

Just last week, my wife and I caught BBVD live at the House of Blues in New Orleans. It was an incredible performance that kept the crowd smiling. We had so much FUN! BBVD = FUN! There is no other way to say it.

I admit that I was hesitant to purchase this CD / DVD at first, since I already owned most of the songs. But, after seeing them live, I bought this CD the very next day...and we love it.

There is just something about a live performance, even when you're listening to a recorded "live" performance. On stage, BBVD generates some serious energy, and you can't help but be pulled right into it.

The sound quality on both the CD and the bonus DVD is excellent, and the video on the DVD is crystal clear. As a matter of fact, the DVD provides a better view of the band than the one I had "live" at the House of Blues. The music content on both the CD and DVD is the same, though the DVD has extra features like a short film on the band's beginnings. For a two-disc set, the price can't be beat.

If you are into swing, or just need a good dose of happy music, treat yourself to this Live performance of the Kings of Swing. Their fun music can't be beat!

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy ROCKS!!.......2006-02-24

If you like swing or big band music, you will like this CD. The music is upbeat and makes you want to dance. The bonus DVD of their concert is fabulous. If you are looking for one swing/big band music CD/DVD, you can't go wrong with this one.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's Scotty Morris is a sincere, talented, knowledgeable music lover who unfortunately can't translate his passion into truly effective sounds. Wide-ranging hipster credentials in hand--BBVD got its name from late blues guitarist Albert Collins--the seven-piece outfit's sound is totally competent and no more. Pushing forward deliberately, but with little sense of the swing that's their supposed trademark, the bland-voiced Morris and band remain lukewarm through This Beautiful Life's dozen cuts. Paying tribute to Sinatra with a closing "Ol' MacDonald" is a nice touch, but not as nice as the real thing is. (Hint: It's on Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!) --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Swing music to dance to.......2007-01-03

I especially like the last song of this CD. All the other songs have a typical swing dance beat to it.

More great Jazz.......2006-08-17

This was the second CD that I bought after seeing a live show of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and even though it perhaps is not my type of music, I thought it was great to listen to. It really rocks and it has to move you. I really enjoy music that has a beat to it. I think it opened up a new type of music for me. Great stuff.

It doesn't get any better than this.......2005-03-30

This is definitely one of the best swing cds I've ever listened to. The music has a lot of variety, from the very brassy and bright to the softer and more subtle.

This cd leaves their first cd in the dust. A definite must for anyone interested in Swing.

Kings of Swing!.......2005-03-29

If you're a "Swingster" this is one CD you must have in your collection. This is hot, hot, hot! You can't just sit and listen to this one . . . it is so contagious that you'll come down with a major case of the jitterbug and you'll be swingin' all over the room before you can say "Cab Calloway!" The only thing better is seeing these guys in person! Top Drawer for Sure!!!

good cd, more evolved sound.......2004-10-22

the title says it all. the cd is about life, the ups and downs, and everything inbetween. It is a good cd, but doesnt have quite as many super stong songs as Americana Deluxe. You have to be in the mood to listen to this cd, but all the songs are still good, just not something i pop in the cd player just for background music. still recomended tho
