One of the Best CD's I've Ever Heard!!!

"Whoever's reading this right now, just buy it! You can't go wrong! Every song is tight and the whole CD has a great feeling to it. Guaranteed to become a favorite if you like swing music. This is the closest to 'perfect' in a CD that I've ever seen! The instrumentals are good, the harmonies of the vocals are fantastic, and the songs are all good (some are original and some are classics). When I first heard this CD (my parents bought it at an event that the Girls from Mars played at), I was just blown away! You could listen to this for hours and not get tired of it (I have and I still love it!). Trust me, if you like swing music , this is some really good, premium stuff!
If you want a taste of the CD, listen to the "Free Download" Amazon provides!"
Never too old to swing

"Planet Swing by the Girls From Mars really swings. I am a fan of the swingin years and I love this CD. My favorites are Stompin' at the Savoy, Straighten Up & Fly Right, and Never Too Old to Swing but all of the selections really take me back to those swingin years. These three ladies sing in a style that would have propelled them to the top of the charts when swing was king. Some of their harmonies remind me of the Andrew Sisters, but I think these girls have a better sound. The girls are backed by a group of talented musicians who really make this CD a pleasure to listen to.I was impressed by the song selection, some of which I remembered, and some I am sure I have never heard before. They must have spent hours searching the swing archives and listening to stacks of 78-rpm records."
