What a find!

06/02/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ben Swift Band has a unique sound and Chimpanzee proves an addicting album. The vocals and trombone make this band great. Love the funk; love the mellower songs like Walking Away and Drag the Mule. It's not pop for the masses, and that's what's so cool."

Funky, smart and full of energy

"Chimpanzee is one of the best cd's I've heard in a long time. Funky, fresh and intelligent, it has some of the best songwriting you can find. Outstanding musicianship and creative textural production makes this cd long lasting. I love the mix of funk, New Orleans grooves and gorgeous pop melodies. Chimpanzee is a refreshing collection of eclectic writing - no songs sound exactly the same as with most pop music these days."
