Like a lot of people, I became a huge fan of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy when they played in the Epic favorite movie Swingers. Every album they put out is to my liking.
This new one however, takes them in a completely new direction thematically. This album consists of covers of great tunes by Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima and Louis Jordan all done in the inimitable BBVD style. Superb!!!!
Any Epic would love this album for summer swilling and chilling. GO DADDY-O!!

Holy smokes! I can't believe I never made the connection! Jordan is one of my favorites, a genre unto himself. Prima is just perfection. And Armstrong, well, he's Louis Armstrong; a giant.
Now to get back to the book I'm writing, titled Louis, Neil, and Lance.
Will have to check out this BBVD record!
This is their best of a lot of great albums. Love all three guys.
I have to make the scene in HI mon frere.

I first heard them when they played the Superbowl. We have seen them live in Michigan several times, now. They put on a really fun concert!
