Hit: 5 Stars
The Brian Setzer Orchestra has done it again. The big band orchestra has made one of the ulitmate Christmas records, and DIG THAT CRAZY CHRISTMAS needs to be part of any Christmas and music collection. Professional guitarist and singer Brian Setzer, along with his professional big band puched out yet another great piece of work. These cats can swing like no other musicians out there, and they definately know the swing genre on a professional level. Setzer adds flare to this musical art with his own amzing guitar licks of classical, jazz, and rockabily. The horns and woodwinds provide the big band with most of the pieces' melodies, but Brian and his female singers perform beautiful musical lines as well. The bass player is one cool cat, for he keeps the melody and harmony moving as he and Setzer make quick and perfect transitions of passing chords all over their bass and guitar necks. The songs off this swing record are old and new hits arranged to Setzer's unique take on the swing genre. It gives all tracks just a fun and up beat feel to their sound and makes me wonder why there aren't any Mainstream bands performing this musical art. Definately pick up DIG THAT CRAZY CHRISTMAS for the next holiday season or of course, for those out there who also celebrate Christmas In July.
Stand out tracks include:
"Dig That Crazy Santa Claus"
"Angels We Have Heard On High"
"Gettin' In The Mood (For Christmas)"
"Zat You Santa Claus?"
"My Favorite Things"
"You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
Dig That Crazy Christmas Poster
Following up on the success of their 2002 set Boogie Woogie Christmas, the Brian Setzer Orchestra get back in the spirit of the season this year with the release of a new holiday album and DVD. This Japanese pressing features 13 Christmas tracks including 'White Christmas', 'You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch', 'Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!', 'My Favorite Things', 'Jingle Bell Rock' and more, plus the earliest release and a bonus track. The set also includes the new Setzer tracks 'Hey Santa' and 'Santa Drives a Hot Rod'. Vap. 2005.Brian Setzer?s Dig That Crazy Christmas is proof that behind every rockabilly hepcat is a big band leader. Mixing originals with seasonal faves, Setzer and his orchestra manage to swing, rock, roll and otherwise nail such gems as "Dig That Crazy Santa Claus," "Zat You Santa Claus" (popularized by Louis Armstrong at Christmas long past) and "Cool Yule." He even tackles an instrumental arrangement of "My Favorite Things" that allows him to show off his guitar chops to great effect. Even the unexpected "Angels We Have Heard on High"--played at a galloping tempo, with an angelic chorus and loads of shiny brass--fits into Setzer?s big bad sack. His original tunes (and seasonal rewrite of "in the Mood" called "Getting? in the Mood for Christmas") such as "Santa Arrives in A Hot Rod" and "Hey Santa? will be right at home, or in the cocktail lounge, or that New Year?s Eve Party that you will have trouble remembering. Recommended fun. --Martin Keller
