"How many times have you been asked, "Here, give this CD a whirl, you'll really like it", only to find mediocrity at its finest. That seemed to be what was going to happen with this CD. I was a little apprehensive about listening to this SKA CD, figuring it was going to be a 'follow a no talent, college underground, it's cool to like SKA for no reason other than everyone else in college listens to SKA' band.I was pleasantly surprised! The overall quality of the music on this CD is superb. 'Miss Fortune' is an addicting CD. I find myself spinning it often. The songs are upbeat. 'Miss Fortune' is well laid out. My favorite track is 'Girl in My Kitchen' which is about a morning after with a hangover and girl who make breakfast after a what was going to be a one night stand (At least that's how I interpreted it). Listening to the CD, I can tell Dave's Big Deluxe has fun with the songs. They are serious about their music but do not take themselves too seriously; a trait not normally found in much of today's music. Now I find myself one of those people asking others to give it a spin, hoping they don't set up the same prejudice I did."
