Additional Swing Information
|
The truth is that Suzy Bogguss, whose early music reflected her love of Western tunes and yodeling, never really fit into assembly-line Nashville. Rarely did her major-label producers allow her to reveal her true self. This time, she reveals nothing but that. Masterfully produced by Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson, she's at home with every tune, be it time-honored jazz chestnuts like Billie Holiday's "Comes Love" and Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me" or fresh, witty contemporary numbers by Nashville jazz chanteuse-writer April Barrows. Benson, who duets with Bogguss on Barrows's "Cupid Shot Us Both with One Arrow," wisely avoids using a big band. Instead, he surrounds her with a small band of Asleep at the Wheel alumni--including pianist Floyd Domino and driving, Stuff Smith-inspired fiddler Jason Roberts--that provides a sharper, more deft accompaniment than any bigger band could. Liberated from Music Row's relentless pursuit of radio-friendly mediocrity, Bogguss has at last nailed it to the wall with this smart, elegant, and joyous effort. --Rich Kienzle

Even if you don't like Country this should be in your collection. Straighten Up and Fly Right will be familiar to all of the Nat King Cole fans and Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me may be a version destined to be known as Suzy's standard but the real hidden treasures are in the tunes you may not have heard before, Burnin' the Toast For You and Stay Out Of My Dreams will put a smile on your face and leave a melody running through the corridors of your mind. Suzy Bogguss proves once again that she is soooooo much more than just a country singer. Oh there's nothing wrong with being a country singer, there are people who make a good living that way and have thousands of fans and big ranches and ride around in Silver Eagles but this artist can blow with the best Big Band singers and still keep the Country fans happy.
Definitely worth the money. This is a big departure from her usual, really great, catchy tunes, though. The kind of music that will keep your feet tapping.
It's completely different from anything else she's ever done, but probably the best thing she's done for quite a while (her Christmas album is also outstanding). The country/western swing element that Suzy and producer Ray Benson (Asleep at the Wheel) bring to the album is present but not overpowering. Certainly worth the price for any fan of Suzy or any fan of good ol' swing music. Darn good collection of swing music from one of the clearest, most versatile voices around. Suzy starts with the old Nat Cole standard "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and moves along with lesser-known numbers and several originals.
