"EVERY SONG ON FEROCIOUSLY STONED IS EXELLENT!The Cherry Poppin' Daddies are fireing up another album soon, tenatively titled "Soul Caddilac". Will it be a swing record like ZSR was? Sort of. Swing has always been a part of CPD's music. Will it be like "Ferociously Stoned"? Sort of. Everyone must realize that ZSR is a collection of "swingin hits" and is a collection of songs from earler CD's. Zoot Suit Riot does not indicate the extent of the band's music, or the scope of their style! (Look for a twist of soul on the new album.) The only thing one can expect when hearing a CPD album for the first time is: some songs will be rock/swing/punk/power pop or whatever CPD decides to do. Bottom line: CPD does what they have ALWAYS done, and that is to make Great albums. Accept the Daddies for what they are. Order Ferociously Stoned, and all the other CPD albums and expect only one thing: excellent music."

One of the best albums ever.

"I don't know how many hundreds of times I have listened to the album and it still holds up as one of my favorites. The first time I heard any of their songs was a live performance at Speedy O' Tubs in Bellingham, Washington (probably 1990 or 1991). This is an incredible band and as great as this album is the Daddies are even better live. One thing though, this is not a pure Swing style album, it is more a cross between swing, punk and rock, add to that some incredible lyrics from Steve Perry and you end up with "Ferociously Stoned." If you are a fan of pure Swing you will probably be disappointed by parts of the album but if you are a fan of really good music that combines various styles and doesn't follow some boring formula then this is for you. While some are at times offended by some of the lyrics I find them to be very honest and often humorous, you really come away understanding just how disturbed Steve Perry's childhood must have been after listening to "Drunk Daddy". Russ Meyer fans will especially enjoy "Flovilla Thatch vs. the Virile Garbage Man." This CD deserves a place in any true music lover's collection."

CPDs best CD, but it ain't swing

"Ok, if you are a new fan you probably think that CPD is only swing, but if you want swing stick to Zoot Suit Riot and don't compare it to this album because they're completely different. In fact, if you are into only swing don't even bother with CPDs other albums. THIS ALBUM IS NOT A SWING ALBUM! Yes it has a few swing songs but you can find them on Zoot Suit Riot. I just love this CD, even though I became a fan through Zoot Suit Riot. Almost the whole album kicks ass, and the different styles of each song keep you on your toes and keep you dancing; even laughing at times. Please, just don't expect this to be the same as Zoot Suit Riot because it's not. If you are open to other types of music, just give this a shot at you might end up liking it. In fact, I disliked most of this album at first because I was expecting swing; once I gave it a chance and opened up to something different I could not stop listening to it."
