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 with this one, and found myself greatly dissapointed. Now,...

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 move some with the music. It really rocks. Great...

A 5 star treat indeed that is mmm delish
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
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...

This is the Best!
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!
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...

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 themselves! Buy it - you won't regret it.

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...- You Know You Wrong is a fast paced danceable tune that lodges itself in...

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 the less. Even if this isn't your favorite CD, you...

Boring New Orleans funk and shallow pop, with horns...
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 which are very good. This is the last BBVD cd I'll...
