SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:18 Min.
As if it’s an introduction, leading off The Brian Setzer Orchestra’s 1998 Dirty Boogie album is this rollicking swing jazz/pop track.
REVIEW:
Unsurprisingly, it’s a “Cat” with pizazz to spare. Considering Brian Setzer’s history headlining The Stray Cats, this stylish tune is a perfect homage. Case in point: this track knows exactly when not to overstay its welcome. Think of “This Cat’s on a Hit Tin Roof” as an ideal sample for The Dirty Boogie – if you love this delightful song, then you will likely love Setzer’s album.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: Another exhilarating choice for contemporary swing jazz/pop is Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s self-titled 1994 album.
