It's ironic that the success of director Doug Liman's microbudgeted Swingers brought the sensibilities of the underground lounge music revival to a broader American audience; in many other countries, Frank, Dino, Sammy, Bobby Darin, and Count Basie have long been revered as cultural heroes. The retro-chic movement has always had one well-kept secret on its side--high musical quality--and this collection plays like an adventurous hipster anthology that's open-minded enough to invite George Jones, Roger Miller, and The Average White band to the party. Also includes standout tracks by modern jazz-swing revivalists Joey Altruda and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. --Jerry McCulley

Swing Dancing April 16, 2008
Five other couples have been taking dancing lessons and we were looking for some swing music to practice with,so we got this CD-Swingers. We really enjoyed the music. We had a blast learning how to swing. Try it some time.
Easily one of the best collections March 27, 2008
Love the movie, love the soundtrack. This music is great at 90mph on the road or washing dishes at the house.
Great CD.

A perfect sampling of the music from one of the greatest indie films to hit the streets. This CD has everything. If I had to complain, and this is really not a negative about the CD as much as a small gripe because I love the song, the only thing missing is Heart's "Magic Man". That song was on the movie but I understand that it didn't fit in with the rest of the offerings in this compilation.
A quick rundown of my highlights for you: Dean Martin croons "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You" and it still sounds classy, cool; "Paid for Loving" is a funky song, heavy on the funk guitar, with sappy-smooth vocals; "With Plenty of Money and You" by Tony Bennett and Count Basie and the Boys, come on, it's a Vegas standard; three offerings by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with "You and Me and the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight" being the highlight of the 3, these guys are amazing and do swing proud; "Knock Me a Kiss" is a great standard; "Groove Me" is a treat if you love bass lines, the song is light on synth and guitars with a thick bass lead; Roger Miller's "King of the Road" is a great classic that somehow fits in with the edgier stuff along with "She Thinks I Still Care"; Bobby Darin tops of the album with "I'm Beginning to See the Light"
The album has everything but Rock & Roll, and for once, that is OK with me.
A great soundtrack from a great movie. A definite must have. Dig in and enjoy!
It swings! January 3, 2007
This cd swings! Great compilation, especially for the casual swing enthusiast who doesn't want to invest in many different swing cds. It's a great cd to go to when you want to listen to some great dance music!
