Save My Soul

Now, part of my problem with this one is that I didn't do a good review of the music before I bought the CD. I usually do, but once in awhile I get a crazy hair and buy from a group that I have listened to before, and liked. I did that with this one, and found myself greatly dissapointed. Now, after reading reviews on here, I would still be greatly dissapointed with this CD.

Also, I don't own, nor have I heard the second album. I do have the first, and listen to it quite often. It was fresh, original, and had lots of energy. This CD didn't deliver on any of it.

There was a high content of New Orleans sound in there, which I am not a fan of to begin with, and it just made everything sound bland and tasteless. I listened to it twice, just to make sure that I gave it a fair shake, and I'll probably listen to it one more time just to be on the safe side.

I'm not going to do a song by song review of it... Just know that there is a lot of Dixie Land flavorings in the music, and on a lot of the points of the album, that's all it is. Not for me.

On the positive side, the vocals have gotten better, and I enjoyed the singing more than I did on the first album. I hope that they get back to Swingin'.

Growing up in the 50s is what I listen to, but after seeing a live show of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, I bought a CD at the show. After listening to the CD, I bought two more CDs at Amazon.com. The music has a real beat to it, and you can't help but move some with the music. It really rocks. Great stuff.

This cd is delightful from beginning to end, full of suprises, swing, New Orleans jazzy jump blues ,and smokey infectious vocals that are smouldering hot. Red hot horn riffs that remind one of Bourbon street. Hot tempos and exotic swinging rhythms. Let this cd voodoo your voodoo.

I can't compliment this band enough. The contagiuos beat and happy rhythms of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are contagious... Their music makes you want to dance!

I saw them perform recently at the House of Blues in New Orleans. It was an incredible show. Just prior to singing the title track of this CD, Save My Soul, lead singer Scotty Morris told the crowd that he had written the song 14 years ago. He felt he owed a debt of gratitude to the musical tradition of New Orleans. But now, post-Katrina, the song carries more meaning for him and for all who love N'Awlins.

Save My Soul is a fun, soulful, and carefree CD. Buy it. Enjoy it. Share it with those you love.

Highly recommended!

I own three of BBVD's CDs and this one is the best. You just have to move those feet! I just love these guys.
