Save My Soul
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 more

- Big? Maybe. Bad? Yes, most definitely.
Now, part of my problem with this one is that I didn't do a good review of the music before I bought the CD. I usually do, but once in awhile I get a crazy hair and buy from a group that I have listened to before, and liked. I did that...

- Great type of Jazz.
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...

- A bit below par with two or three eagles
Having had few or no complaints about BBVD's self-titled album and This Beautiful Life, I eagerly picked this disc up. Perhaps it's a case of expectations placed too highly, but this album falls well short of those two albums, but does...
