The Shakin' Suits

Shake, Shake, Shakin' Suits!  10" vinyl

(Plan 9 Trash Records)



Friskiness animates this sextet of Western Swing romps. Such are the unaffected tonal elegance and pleasantly innocent ambiance that one might think the post-1940s decades had never transpired. Each poised player wisely intuits that it's the whole, not the individual, that matters. They acquit themselves accordingly and whimsical melodiousness is the product. Rolling rhythms and genteel voicings transport listeners to a happy plane where troubles never tread.

Recommended: "I Like Coffee (Not For Me)," "When You See Me With My Baby," "Tweny-One," "Shake, Shake, Shakin' Suits!," "Merry-Go-Round," "Mali's Bounce"
