The guy stated on release of this album that he'd simply done as he pleased. He was making no atempt to follow Dirty Boogie with the same old and those expecting "more of the same" were going to get a slap in the face. Whilst Dirty Boogie is an unbelievably good mix of big band swing and rockabilly, and simply just sounded so so good, this album steps firmly into the big band swing camp. But still sounds slick, funny and high quality. No the tunes aren't quite so radio friendly as Boogie, and it doesn't quite rock like it either, but the point is Setzer has put his money where his (considerable at times), mouth is and reworked some old and in some cases, very tired songs. And done a fantastic job as well. Stuff the criticism by the purists. His version of Mack the Knife is so fresh and charming, as is his remoulding of Americano. Is he a classic "crooner"? Not by any means but the guy is a very talented guitarist, song writer, composer and producer and has put together an album of songs with VaVoom that has wit, charm, quality and is something I defy listeners not to simply smile at if nothing else.

This is the perfect CD for listening in the privacy of your car. When driving to work and feeling low, listening to this album might be the cure for the monday morning blues. Put this CD in your car stereo set, cranck up the volume and let it rip. Sing as loud as you can with Brian in the privacy of your car (nobody will be bothered if you sound like crap) and perfect your car-driving singing skills. Try "Americano", "Mack the knife" and the wonderful "Gloria", and you'll be smiling for the rest of the day.

I have all the BSO albums released so far and this is up to the same standard as the others. I have a few favourites on the album which include The Footloose Doll and From Here To Eternity. I challenge anyone to listen to this without tapping their foot or singing along. Wonderful mix of Rockabilly & Swing.

Brave follow up to "The Dirty Boogie"
How to follow up the double Grammy winning "Dirty Boogie"? Setzer faced a similiar problem with the 2nd Stray Cats album, and in that case opted to veer from rockabilly... Read more
