Save My Soul

From: $6.00

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

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 27, 2007 Type: User Review 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 with this...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 17, 2006 Type: User Review 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 help but...

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...

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 14, 2004 Type: User Review Hear Oh Yeah in the PC Game Casino Empire!

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!)...

From: Amazon Posted: May 29, 2004 Type: User Review Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's Best Without Question

This is their best CD by far - they keep getting better and better. As someone who knows something about the technical side of arranging and musicology, I cannot say enough good things about these arrangements. Scotty and the guys have outdone...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 24, 2004 Type: User Review Back and Bad as Ever

As a listener with an admitted positive bias, I was putting some huge expectations on this album. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy delivered.

Two songs stand out as sticking in my head, even though I haven't heard them in a few weeks...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 31, 2003 Type: User Review Trying a new sound

I was pleased to see these guys experiment with a new sound. They'd already more than proved their ability to turn out flawless state-of-the-art swing. While this New Orleansesque sound may not appeal to swing purists, it's fun listening none...

This is very annynamous sounding music, which actually sounds more liek an ametuer marching high school band. The music is very repetitive, whcih is what funk music is all about. It is nowhere near as entertaining as thier last two releases...
