1 out of 5 stars Offensive Content and Language.......2007-06-05

I love swing revival music, but my exposure to various groups has been limited. I bought this as a "buy it together" with another CD, listened to four songs, and turned it off. I won't listen to it again. The themes of the songs are sex-charged and the language vulgar. I guess I should have known by the title, "Cherry Poppin' Daddies," but I was thinking more along the lines "poppin' = jivin'" rather than it having a sexual connotation. Shows how out of the loop I am, I guess. Some people would probably love this CD, but as a Christian, I'm offended by the themes and the language. There was a low-class knock on God, too, and that was the end of the CD for me.

5 out of 5 stars Zoot Suit Riot.......2007-05-21

I postively love this cd. It so entertaining to listen to and if you are into swing dancing this is the music for you. The quality is like having Cherry Poppin Daddies right there with you performing it, it's that good. Zoot Suit Riot is a very up beat and fun cd for everyone to enjoy .

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

One of a handful of pop groups in the latter half of the 1990s to exploit the renewed interest in American roots (swing, big band, soul) music, this Eugene, Oregon ensemble scored big with a neat modern update of the old school. Purists take note: Cherry Poppin' Daddies built a following by touring with third-wave ska outfits like Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish, prompting main Daddy Steve Perry to wryly call his group "third-wave swing." But post-Swingers dance fanatics (rockabilly retro-cats, modern-day sockhoppers, and Royal Crown Revue boosters) don't sweat the particulars. Charged horn arrangements, bouncy rhythms, and saucy verve effectively recall masters like Basie, Cab, and Ol' Blue Eyes while injecting an unmistakable post-punk ethic. --Mark Woodlief

5 out of 5 stars great, excellent c.d. !!!!!.......2007-07-10

now look, from beginning to end, these guys did a heck of a job in bringing "swing jazz music" to life (the godfather rythom to allmost any music that ever made it mainstream in america).... yes, there are some lyrics on this album that has profanity... but SO FREAKIN WHAT!!! as far as i'm concerned about that aspect is, with all of the stuff that is popular now a days and what they talk about, this does'nt even come close to being vulgar like many of that STUFF!!! weather it be rock, rap, r&b, country, etc... so if you have an open mind and heart to what "music" was like before what's so popular now a days, then believe me, you won't go wrong with this album....

5 out of 5 stars I love these guys!.......2007-04-23

This cd is awesome, I love every single song on it. It is one of the greatest swing cds there is :) Don't hesitate to buy and/or listen to this.

2 out of 5 stars One hit wonders? .......2007-02-16

Not really all that good. And, the language used could be better. Not a keeper... Sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Nutso wacko swing...with a vengeance.......2007-01-16

This is not your father's swing band....whoa--not by a long shot! These guys don't hesitate to throw four letter words into their lyrics and combined with hot swing drumming, razzy brass and often snide vocals, you got yourself one heck of a different swing sound.

The sense of humor can be outrageous here--listen to "When I Change Your Mind" and tell me you ain't laughin' by the time the song reaches its wacky end. A number of reviewers pooh-pooh the musicianship on display here--one of 'em even said the entire album was "horrendous"--but ya gotta look past this kind of review and see what CPD is really doing--which is make fun of people looking for traditional swing in a new band and at the same time to shout out what swing was (and is) really all about--SEX. The word "jazz" itself was originally a verb that meant to engage in sex with someone (now replaced by the most infamous four letter word on the planet) and Cherry Poppin' Daddies know this (naturally, you can tell that even by the name of the band).

This is a lot of fun for those with a sharp edgy sense of humor. It's a novelty item, no question, but there's no way you're ever gonna find another new swing band that does what these guys do. This kind of like listening to a band made up of nothing but Jokers (i.e., the Joker from Batman)--you can actually HEAR the wicked cackles in their music with just about every tune.

Dig it!

5 out of 5 stars Red Hot Swing ,Smokin' Horns,.......2006-09-23

This CD has been a fave for me over the last 8 years or so...I keep comin' back to it for an adreneline boost,literally. I've also got cds from BBVD,RCR,Squirrel Nut Zippers etc.,but for my money this is the real deal.There's not one bad track and several outstanding ones...my faves include Ding Dong Daddy(breathtaking opening)Mister White Keys,Master and Slave,Dr. Bones,Come Back To Me,Drunk Daddy(disturbing images,but killer track all the same)and Shake Your Lovemaker.I admire Steve Perry for his skill with lyrics .While at times dark and nasty ,it is honest, full of imagery and downright fun for the most part.He is not blessed with much range in his voice , but uses what he has well.The music ,especially the horn arrangements literally jumps out of the speakers .Go ahead ,Try and keep still.Hopefully,we'll hear more ,even though swing has gone below the radar again, the music is too damned good to completely disappear.

          This EP displays on of the Cherry Poppin Daddies finest track. Zoot Suit Riot would probably be the track that put this band on the map in terms of fame. It's fast paced with great lyrics that you will catch yourself singing everywhere, especially the shower.
