CD ReviewsThe best swing CD out there S. Gaede | Baltimore, MD | 08/04/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Strong words, but I stick to them. Casey MacGill's CD is the best swing CD out there, especially if you're looking for original hi-fi tunes! Contrary to what other reviewers have written, Casey wrote 7 out of the 10 songs himself; they aren't all covers. But they are so awesome, that the first time you hear them you will swear you've heard them a thousand times. Ironically, you can listen and dance to every song on this CD a thousand times and never get tired of them, they are that good. With Casey's sexy voice (several women I know have said so), amazing vocals, original lyrics, and energetic style, this is a must-have for any swing dancer, Lindyhopper, or big band enthusiast." Casey MacGill's Jump, is one of my faves! S. Gaede | 07/21/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Casey MacGill's CD, JUMP is so listenable that I keep it loaded in my player at all times. I defy any woman not to fall in love with the voice of Marc Sorger on the ballad, "Love Ain't Nothin But the Blues". If you really want to get your heart pumping, get-a-load of "Jump Up"! This CD has seven original tunes written by Casey MacGill and they hold their own next to the three covers. This band is going to the top!" Fantastic dancable swing K. Buxton | Pasadena, CA | 07/14/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Casey MacGill & the Spirits of Rhythm come through Portland frequently and I try to catch them everytime. They're probably one of my favorite 2 swing bands to dance to, and this CD is a good example of their work. I'm just happy you can now get it somewhere other than just at their shows."
