CD Reviews

A pretty good overview

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great, fun album the title can be deciving, the music has a great big band sound but only a few tracks could be called swing. the musical genres range from jazz, rock and ska. A great party album. Brian setzer should buy this album to see how is should be done."
Not Bad At All!

"The best thing Jools has got going for himself is the singer SAM BROWN who sings on all his albums. Sam Browm has not been heard of in a long time till she dueted with the brilliant FISH on the hit single called JUST GOOD FRIENDS from his album YIN. While she could of capitalised on this publicity she instead decided to hang in the shadow of Jools Holland. This is a great shame as she has a magnificent voice. Perhaps she'll get back with FISH after he finishes promoting RAINGODS WITH ZIPPOS, we'll see."
