In 1997, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were a moderately successful local band with a decent following from Eugene, Oregon. They played mostly ska, with some swing music thrown in for fun. Their manager came to them one day and told them that their fans were practically begging for cd’s of swing. He suggested to them that they release a swing compilation. The band thought he was crazy, but he convinced them. Thus, the Daddies released a greatest hits album with no major deal and only three previous albums out. At about the same time, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy had created a swing revival with their music for the film Swingers. Zoot Suit Riot was swept up in the craze, released on a major label, and for about a year, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were stars. When the brief swing craze died off, so did the Daddies. But it seemed like just about everyone had a copy of this album, even if they forgot to play it after the turn of the century.
Pull it out, friends, dust it off, and relive what may have been the coolest craze of the 90’s. 9 of the tracks are from the band’s three previous albums. Four were recorded specifically for this compilation (including the massively successful title track), and one was re-recorded. Singer Steve Perry (not THAT Steve Perry) leads the band through several satisfying romps like “Drunk Daddy”, “Here Comes The Snake”, and “Ding-Dong Daddy Of The D-Car Line” that will make you want to throw your partner over your shoulder. The best songs are perfect: there is a bit of filler here, but it’s mostly very good. The Daddies never approached any other kind of success after this, and Perry is somewhat bitter that his band was pigeonholed as a swing only band. But, it bought them a nice 15 minutes, and we all have Zoot Suit Riot as a consolation prize. Dust this baby off and dig! [First added to this chart: 09/17/2013]
