Negative Positive
Title: Retro-dixieland jazz and torch.
Review: First, let me get this off my chest. Squirrel Nut Zippers does not sound like Cherry Poppin' Daddies. The only similarity is that they both play retro music. This isn't either good nor bad, just different. Cherry Poppin' Daddies play retro-30's Big Band while Squirrel Nut Zippers play retro-20's Dixieland/Flapper music. Both are good.Squirrel Nut Zippers certainly seem to have a lot of fun on this CD and I had a lot of fun listening. I especially like the baritone sax, the banjo, and the baritone ukelele (not instruments you hear a lot in today's popular music.) The female lead singer, Katharine Whalen, has a voice that sounds right out of a Betty Boop cartoon - unique and oh so cool. I'd love to hear her sing some more torch songs. I'm anxious for the next album.
