Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It's ironic that the success of director Doug Liman's microbudgeted Swingers brought the sensibilities of the underground lounge music revival to a broader American audience; in many other countries, Frank, Dino, Sammy, Bobby Darin, and Count Basie have long been revered as cultural heroes.
The retro-chic movement has always had one well-kept secret on its side--high musical quality--and this collection plays like an adventurous hipster anthology that's open-minded enough to invite George Jones, Roger Miller, and The Average White band to the party. Also includes standout tracks by modern jazz-swing revivalists Joey Altruda and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. --Jerry McCulley

Rating: - Swing Dancing
Five other couples have been taking dancing lessons and we were looking for some swing music to practice with,so we got this CD-Swingers. We really enjoyed the music. We had a blast learning how to swing. Try it some time.
Rating: - Easily one of the best collections
Love the movie, love the soundtrack. This music is great at 90mph on the road or washing dishes at the house.
Great CD.
Rating: - Eclectic mix of jazz, funk, swing, standards, and R&B
A perfect sampling of the music from one of the greatest indie films to hit the streets. This CD has everything. If I had to complain, and this is really not a negative about the CD as much as a small gripe because I love the song, the only thing missing is Heart's "Magic Man". That song was on the movie but I understand that it didn't fit in with the rest of the offerings in this compilation.
A quick rundown of my highlights for you: Dean Martin croons "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You" and it still sounds classy, cool; "Paid for Loving" is a funky song, heavy on the funk guitar, with sappy-smooth vocals; "With Plenty of Money and You" by Tony Bennett and Count Basie and the Boys, come on, it's a Vegas standard; three offerings by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with "You and Me and the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight" being the highlight of the 3, these guys are amazing and do swing proud; "Knock Me a Kiss" is a great standard; "Groove Me" is a treat if you love bass lines, the song is light on synth and guitars with a thick bass lead; Roger Miller's "King of the Road" is a great classic that somehow fits in with the edgier stuff along with "She Thinks I Still Care"; Bobby Darin tops of the album with "I'm Beginning to See the Light"
The album has everything but Rock & Roll, and for once, that is OK with me.
A great soundtrack from a great movie. A definite must have. Dig in and enjoy!
Rating: - It swings!
This cd swings! Great compilation, especially for the casual swing enthusiast who doesn't want to invest in many different swing cds. It's a great cd to go to when you want to listen to some great dance music!
