 Cherry Poppin' DaddiesSusquehanna Release Date 2008 Label Rock Ridge Music Rating:  With the lone exception being &"Wingtips," Cherry Poppin' Daddies have veered away from their classic or signature big-band swing sound with this record. Of course the horns and catchy choruses are there, but a song such as the groovy &"Bust Out" comes across like they're channeling Squirrel Nut Zippers. However, the reggae-meets-flamenco bridge is probably a style they should avoid. Flamenco is a common theme for much of the record, with clunkers such as &"Roseanne" dragging this average-at-best record down further. Meanwhile, the band's lead singer Steve Perry tries to change gears with the slinky, creepy &"The Mongoose and the Snake" with mixed results at best. The group hit pay dirt with the punchy number &"Hi and Lo" and the equally engaging &"Hammerblow" which leads into ska territory à la Less Than Jake. There is a light, airy feeling on much of the early material, especially the reggae-saturated &"Blood Orange Sun" that sounds a bit forced. A lot of the record lacks punch or oomph, particularly the toe-tapping &"Julie Grave" which could be their best attempt at radio-friendly pop. Perhaps the highlight is &"Tom the Lion" that has a breezy flow to it. Other than that, Cherry Poppin' Daddies leave the listener with little pop. Jason MacNeil, Rovi |
