3 reviews for a 2 million selling album???? December 26, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There's more reviews on Amazon.com of course (as that's American) but i am surprised that this cd has been out ten years (1998) and only 3,(now 4) people have bothered to review it! Why? This album is five stars from start to finish. 'This cat's on a hot tin roof' is just about as exciting as a song gets. Then 'The Dirty Boogie' does for swing what Lara Croft does for 'Tomb Raider'...in other words, it was meant to be. How can anyone not say that this isn't the best version of 'Sleepwalk' ever recorded? Apart from 'BSO live in Japan'! We didn't get the 'Gap commercial' in England but apparently 2 million Americans did! Therefore 'Jump, jive and wail' became a monster hit. The only minus on this incredible album is the big band treatment of 'Rock this town. Brian's 'Stray Cats' win that song hands down. But the pluses are so much it doesn't matter. 'Check out 'Switchblade 327' for some motoring guitar work...that's if you can bare to stop dancin'!
Highly recommended! February 2, 2004

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!
The joint is jumpin'! December 7, 1999

The Orchestra's 3rd album, best described in Brian's own words as 'rockabilly swing'. Stray Cats classic "Rock this town" gets a stunning new arrangement that will wear holes in any dancefloor, "This ole house" is clearly inspired by the Shakin' Stevens version but takes it in new directions. "Switchblade 327" is a classic Setzer Kustom Kool song, mixing hotrods and violence and painting a neo-50s word picture as only he does.Oh yes, and Grammy winning performances on "Jump jive and wail" and "Sleepwalk" - although I prefer the version of the latter on the Stray Cats' "Choo Choo Hotfish".
An very good cd with lots of great swing sounds November 15, 1999

If you like the sound of swing and big band music, you will definitely enjoy this album. Almost everyone has likely heard "Jump Jive an' Wail" from the infamous gap commercial and some of the songs are very reminiscent of that one. (The video for the song is ten times more energetic than the gap commercial and definitely inspired many a swing lesson.) There are also a few remakes of popular songs such as "Since I Don't Have You" and "Rock This Town" which was performed by Setzer's former band, The Stray Cats. This is a fun party cd as well as the tunes make everyone want to dance and hey - who wouldn't want to pretend they too are in a Gap commercial?
