The Dirty Boogie: Fun, Classic, Genuinely Entertaining

Pros Upbeat, carefree, and cool...
Cons Not everybody is going to like swing...
Recommended it? Yes

In the mid and late 1990s there was a movement back toward swing and big band. The Brian Setzer Orchestra along with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and Squirrel Nut Zippers (among many others) scored unlikely hits with both new songs and remakes of old classics.

Pros High Energy...
Cons None...
Recommended it? Yes

I haven't jumped on the big band/swing bandwagon. I don't dress like I'm straight out of the 1940's or 1950's. I can only think of one person I know who uses pomade on a regular basis and I can't think of anyone I know that wears saddle shoes for fashion purposes. I don't hang out in martini or...

Electric swing baby! Yeah!

Pros The best of the electric guitar and big band sounds
Cons none that I can think of
Recommended it? Yes

If you were ever a fan of the Stray Cats, which I still am, or a fan of swing, then you are gonna love what Brian Setzer has to offer you. He has taken the best of the big band sound and mixed it with an electric guitar. This might sound a little weird at first but once you've heard them together... Read full review »

Pros great music that can be sung
Cons the later part of the CD trails off
Recommended it? Yes

There are certain times in music history that stand out to me. I can remember exactly where I was when I heard Elvis had died, I remember where I was when I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana for the first time, and I remember this television commercial selling Gap khakis. The commercial uses... Read full review »

Hard to resist

Pros Just try and stand still while listening.
Cons Can't wait to see them write more new material.
Recommended it? Yes

This is album number three in Brian Setzer's experiment in having a lead guitar front an orchestra in swing music, and you'd have to say he's really getting the hang of it. This is the best CD the combination has produced yet, and it's not a stunner that it won a Grammy. I find myself coming back... Read full review »

Brian Setzer Orchestra

Pros Great dance music
Cons Warning: You may become addicted!
Recommended it? Yes

The Brian Setzer Orchestra is my absolute favorite band of all time. Their new album, The Dirty Boogey, is a very excellent CD. It has some good old fashioned ballads and some modern swing. There are also many good swing dancing songs on the album! Songs so catchy that they will make you want to go... Read full review »

Pros Great Dance Tunes
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I had never heard of Brian Setzer or his band until my husband, who is 10 years my elder, mentioned his name. Ten years can be a large gap in music preferences. I was hesitant to purchase this album, but thought what the hay!

This is the coolest album. It is in a class of it's own. I love... Read full review »

The Dirty Boogie made me want to boogie

byTheJester Feb 7, 2000
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros A great album with great feel to it.
Cons Maybe a bit too much electric guitar.
Recommended it? Yes

I received this CD as a Christmas gift about two years ago. Since then, it's earned itself a permanent position at the top of my stack. Being an avid fan of the "new swing", and a big fan of "Jump Jive an' Wail", I decided to give this album a go. I'm rather glad I did, because it wasn't the least... Read full review »

As Reviewed by James Brundage

The number one problem with rock artists doing swing albums is that the swing albums sound more like rock when all is said and done. Put succinctly, that is my complaint with "The Dirty Boogie" by The Brian Setzer... Read full review »

Pros A must buy!
Cons If you don't want to groove don't buy it.
Recommended it? Yes

This Brian Setzer is so cool man! I haven't had anything move my feet this good and fast in a looong time. If his version of "Jump Jive an' Wail" doesn't get you to movin and groovin" you must be dead. I wasn't that great a fan of the Stray Cats, but I am sure a fan of Brian Setzer. If you are any...
