"This cd is as far removed from country as the Athiest is from the Bible! This music is a mixture of jumping jazz, rockabilly(I mean the bill Haley & The Comets kind), and western swing(Bob Wills style, NOT country!!!). So pelase ignore reviews tha tcall thsi retro country. This music has a lot of swingign improvisation, which givesit that jazz feeling, and the cd really swings hard, as much as it rocks. It isn't really rockabilyl, unless you consider Bill Haley's early 50's stuff as rockabilly, but their is stand up slap bass, a horn, and Condo's very Hoagy Carmichael sounding vocals(he even looks a little like Hoagy!). A great cd if you like jazz and wetsern swing. Great for jitterbug dancing too!!"

Will have you tapping your feet

"This was my first Ray Condo CD, but it won't be my last. Condo and his band blend country, rockabilly, and swing to make some really enjoyable music. If you don't dance this one will make you want to start."

If you're looking for retro-country, Ray Condo's your man.

"I started out with BR5-49. Ray Condo goes a step beyond. You can't help but tap your feet to his music. I got Back Door Maniac two months ago, and haven't gotten tired of it yet! I'll more than likely end up buying all of his CDs"
