Review

Evidently, Brian Setzer doesn't take the jump blues and swing of the Brian Setzer Orchestra as a joke. Dirty Boogie is his third album with his large band, and instead of sounding tired, the record is the group's best effort yet. Setzer rocks the band hard, tearing through blues and rock & roll covers with vigor, and delivering made-to-order originals that are surprisingly well crafted and memorable. Much attention will be paid to "You're the Boss," a cover of the Elvis Presley/Ann Margaret staple from Viva Las Vegas, performed as a duet with No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, but that's hardly the only highlight here -- it's a swinging, rocking record that suggests Setzer's skills are only improving with time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

This fantastic CD is the work of Brian Setzer. Until recently, Brian was most known for his work with the rockabilly band, the Stray Cats. However, Brian's first instrument was the euphonium, and he always dreamed of forming his own big band. Well, Brian had his chance, and who hasn't heard his smash-hit, Jump, Jive, An' Wail? This CD is a collection of thirteen of the Brian Setzer Band's best works, all harkening back to the age of Swing! Heck, there's even a Swing version of Rock This Town!
This is a great CD, one that will please anyone who likes that old and new Swing sound. I highly recommend it to you! -Kurt A. Johnson (Amazon.com)
