If you don’t know who Chris Daniels is, then you’re probably not from my home state of Colorado. Where I live, he’s had a fantastic career. With his band The Kings, they’ve released 14 albums, played for three US Presidents, and served as the backup band for everyone from Sam Bush, Bonnie Raitt and Percy Sledge to The Drifters, The Coasters and Bo Diddley. Daniels is in the Colorado Music Hall Of Fame, and he continues to be a force to this day. Louie Louie is the ninth album of Daniels’ career, and the seventh from The Kings. This excellent disc filled with swing tracks is a whole lot of fun, for sure. The Kings by 1998 were a seasoned and very tight band, so they were able to give bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Squirrel Nut Zippers a run for their money.

Unlike those other swing outfits, Daniels chose songs that are, for the most part, a heck of a lot of fun. He takes on Louis Armstrong on his hit “I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead You Rascal You”. “Sure Had A Wonderful Time Last Night”, “If You’re So Smart, How Come You Ain’t Rich”, and “Chartreuse” are great choices. This band is top shelf. Great players, great energy, and great material. What’s not to like? It is a shame that Daniels hasn’t made a bigger impact outside of his home state, but I guess that’s okay…he can still be our little secret, even after decades of great music. This is a great place to start with him, as is the 2000 compilation Choice Cuts. And if that works for you, he does also have those other twelve records you probably haven’t heard yet to discover.

Including "The Masterplan" is a good idea.
