Royal Crown Revue - Walk On Fire (1999)

People seem to get so caught up this whole swing thing. RCR is not a swing band, they are a band who swings. Swing is not about lindy tempo dances beats, loud horns or zoot suits.

Swing is a feeling, an attidute, and a way of carrying yourself musically. Wynton Marsalis is always talking about "the swing, the swing, the swing."

There's nothing to say about this album except "Amazing!" Once again RCR proves why they are the best band that is carelessly lumped into the category of "swing." Sorry Lindy Hoppers, if you're looking for an album full of songs that sound the same with up tempos, check out Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. This album is so diverse, there's no way I can describe it in such a small space. Thank God they left Warner Brothers so they can do their own thing artistically. The only thing better than this album (which they recorded miraculously in three days!) is hearing them live..check 'em out on their fall tour. To Eddie, James, Daniel, Veikko, Mondo, Bill, and Scott my hats off. A masterpiece.
