"I own their 1st CD, and when they came out with their 2nd CD, I immediately had to purchase it. I think my CD player is getting too hot playing it over and over and over!This is going to be a classic. It's a modern band, but they know how to swing! My favorite part of the CD (aside from hearing Robin's singing -- what talent!) is the fact that Tom Cunningham & his crew were so thoughtful & put the beats per minute on the CD.I'm learning to swing dance & like to practise in my living room. I can learn a new step, check out the beats per minute to the tunes on this CD, and put it on to learn my steps. As I get more confident, I play a faster beat.My personal favorite songs on this CD are:* You Turned the Tables on Me (this one gets stuck in my head & I belt it out all too frequently)* Money is Honey (very clever lyrics)* Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (this is awesome to sing along with... I even heard it live the other night... whoo hoo!)* Let's Dance (that's an all-time favorite song of mine ... I have about 4 versions of it... Tom's is going to be one of my new favorites of it, too! )* Watch the Birdie (this one has a fun beat that is impossible to keep your feet still while listening to it* Bugle Call Rag (Yah! )ALSO: Beulah's Boogie -- this is a song that even my boyfriend can dance to, so we put this one on a LOT & never get tired of it, so we can learn our steps.One O'clock Boogie & Two O'clock Jump are great songs, too, but I figured that anyone looking at this CD would know that already."
