Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is Back

...with a brand new CD:
Longtime fans of the neo-swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were surely surprised when they first dropped the group's latest release, "Save My Soul" into the CD changer.

The lead-off track, "Zig Zaggety Woop Woop, Part One" erupts out of the speakers with a delirious, syncopated fervor that is straight out of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band - from the wild trombones to the stop-and-start grooves to the growling bleats of the tuba. And from there, the band segues into "You Know You Wrong," which rides a rhumba-boogie piano figure that practically channels Professor Longhair. And so on, until, by the disc's end, the band has led the listener on a circuitous survey of vintage New Orleans music styles.
Check it out!
