1	Zoot Suit Riot (1997) more music like this by Cherry Poppin' Daddies see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.75!
2	The Dirty Boogie (1998) more music like this by The Brian Setzer Orchestra Evidently, Brian Setzer doesn't take the jump blues and swing of the Brian Setzer Orchestra as a joke. Dirty Boogie is his third album with his large band, and instead of sounding tired, the record is the group's best effort yet. Setzer rocks the band hard, tearing through blues and rock & roll covers with vigor, and delivering made-to-order ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
3	Hot (1997) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers Squirrel Nut Zippers' second album, Hot, was one of the most surprising success stories of 1997. Like the group's debut, The Inevitable, Hot is comprised entirely of good-natured, if slightly tongue-in-cheek, postmodern big-band music. The band has nailed the sound of jump blues and swinging jazz, and if the Zippers don't have the chops of real ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
4	Big Bad Voodoo Daddy [Interscope] (1998) more music like this by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy For their major-label debut, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy don't change their tune at all, which is a good thing. Like their two indie releases, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is a rollicking set of big-band swing, performed with energy and tongue-in-cheek. The group runs through a number of standards and originals, and while their ironic humor may irritate purists, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.99!
5	Wolfgang's Big Night Out (2007) more music like this by Brian Setzer Orchestra Brian Setzer reconvenes his big band for its first non-Christmas-related set since 2000's Vavoom! Here he rearranges well-known classical themes from Beethoven, Strauss, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and others into Vegas-ized Rat Pack-era swing. It's a fun concept that buys the guitarist time by not having to compose new material, even though these ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
6	Jumpin' Jive (1981) more music like this by Joe Jackson Jumpin' Jive proved to be one of Joe Jackson's most adventurous projects as he tries his hand at covering a bunch of Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway tunes, ranging from the extravagance of big band to bop to vibrant swing music. The album broke the Top 50 in the U.S. and made it to number 14 in England, with the title track peaking at number 43 over ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.82!
7	This Beautiful Life (1999) more music like this by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy see all copies from $5.50! new only from $13.34!
8	Fourth from the Last (1998) more music like this by The W's The swing revivalists of the late '90s never really caught on to the W's, but Fourth From the Last is catchy and well played, although the band's unpredictable hybrid of swing, ska, and rockabilly is not as easily digested as the music (and image) of their zoot-suited contemporaries. While most of the songs fixate on hip teenage subjects, such as ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $59.97!
9	Guitar Slinger (1996) more music like this by The Brian Setzer Orchestra On his second Orchestra album and fourth solo album overall, Brian Setzer extends the genre exercise in jump blues he first tackled on The Brian Setzer Orchestra album. Of course, Setzer, best known as the singer/guitarist from the Stray Cats, is no stranger to retro stylings, and the guitar-dominated, yet horn-filled arrangements of the orchestra ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.00!
10	Perennial Favorites (1998) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers Although it had been simmering for a little while, the neo-swing boom had its breakthrough hit in early 1997 with the Squirrel Nut Zippers' "Hell." Instead of fading away, the movement simply gained momentum, virtually guaranteeing a large audience for the group's summer 1998 follow-up album, Perennial Favorites. The title is a sly joke, since the ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.66!
11 view cover	Save My Soul (2003) more music like this by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy For their first album in four years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy realized they needed to switch gears since the freak, late-'90s big band craze had become about as hot as yesterday's scrambled eggs. Thankfully, a trip down to New Orleans to play Jazzfest (recounted in this album's title track) reinvigorated and reinvented the group's sound. Gone are the ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.21!
12 view cover	Torch This Place (1999) more music like this by The Atomic Fireballs Detroit's Atomic Fireballs bring a fresh attitude to swing on their debut album Torch This Place. Tracks like "Man with the Hex," "Mata Hari" and "Starve a Fever" have a driven energy that shows why the group won many new fans on the 1998 Vans Warped Tour. Torch This Place is powerful fun for anyone into the new swing scene. Heather Phares, All ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $6.00!
13 view cover	Oh! The Grandeur (1999) more music like this by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire Andrew Bird's second album Oh! The Grandeur reunites him with his Bowl of Fire counterparts, as well as some special collaborators like the Squirrel Nut Zippers' James Mathus. Recorded in New Orleans, the album builds on the hot jazz/Brecht vibe that Bowl of Fire pioneered on their first album Thrills, but focuses more on Bird's witty lyrics and ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
14 view cover	The Mask [Original Soundtrack] (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $3.77! new only from $5.00!
15 view cover	As Time Goes By (1999) more music like this by Bryan Ferry Bryan Ferry invests considerable time and energy in cover albums (he should, considering that they compose a good portion of his solo catalog), treating them with as much care as a record of original material. He's always found ways to radically reinvent the songs he sings, so it's easy to expect that his collection of pop standards, As Time Goes ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $10.79!
16 view cover	The Inevitable (1995) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers The members of the band mostly just call it jazz, or "hot music," or, when they're feeling naughty, "race music" -- a term that dates back to the1920s and '30s, when major record labels released jump blues and hot jazz singles under special subsidiary imprints with names like Okeh and Sepiatone. It's music that doesn't really have a name anymore, ... see all copies from $2.56! new only from $8.66!
17 view cover	Thrills (1998) more music like this by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire This is a hybrid of music from the first half of this century, with a heavy influence from the brooding Weimar era of Weill and Brecht. It comes on the heels of Marianne Faithfull's dark and ultra-heavy but stunningly done 20th Century Blues. This is an eccentric collection of a wide variety of influences from that era -- think of Django Reinhardt ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
18 view cover	Relax Your Mind (2003) more music like this by Jay Ungar/Molly Mason Relax Your Mind is another foray into the capable world of Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, although this time they tote the band Swingology as accompanists through Western swing and string band renditions of various traditional tunes, standards, and a few originals. It is obvious listening to any of the Ungar and Mason releases that the two are about ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
19 view cover	The Contender (1998) more music like this by Royal Crown Revue The least smarmy of the bevy of neo-swing albums that were released during the same period (including admirable-selling sets by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies), Royal Crown Revue's fourth album is also their most traditional offering in the genre. And because they are somewhat veterans of the scene (they formed in 1989, at ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.65!
20 view cover	Nitro Burnin' Funny Daddy (2003) more music like this by Brian Setzer After retreating to his big-band persona for 2002's Boogie Woogie Christmas, Setzer drops the horns for a leaner, more eclectic sound on this 2003 release. There is straight-ahead doo wop ("To Be Loved" features a cappella vocals with softly strummed guitar and could have come off a Persuasions album), bluegrass (Setzer shows off his banjo skills ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $12.56!
21 view cover	The Brian Setzer Orchestra (1994) more music like this by The Brian Setzer Orchestra Who'd have thought that former rockabilly bad boy Brian Setzer's fondest dream was to lead a swinging big band? Setzer and his 17-piece band strut through a set of standards and originals, all featuring his growling guitar and vocals. The disc kicks off in high gear with screeching trumpet and a quintet of sweet saxes before Setzer fills up the ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $8.66!
22 view cover	Trouble with X (1999) more music like this by The W's Most specifically Christian-oriented bands employ the tactic of adopting a popular style and simply shifting the lyrical focus to religion; while this does allow Christian youth the opportunity to enjoy favorite musical styles with lyrics that better reflect their beliefs and worldview, it also leaves many of the bands open to charges of ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $19.99!
23 view cover	Vavoom! (2000) more music like this by Brian Setzer Orchestra see all copies from $9.99! new only from $13.34!
24 view cover	Bedlam Ballroom (2000) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers see all copies from $5.88! new only from $7.75!
25 view cover	The Best of Squirrel Nut Zippers (2002) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
