For fifth studio album SAVE MY SOUL, retro-swingers Big Bad Voodoo Daddy take a detour through the Big Easy for a 10-pack of songs that wouldn`t sound out of place being played in some seedy corner of the French Quarter. From the first note played, BBVD`s horn section effectively becomes a Crescent City marching band on the raucous "Zig Zaggity Woop Woop," whose two parts bookend the album. In between, this swinging Gen-X septet follows the lead of frontman Scotty Morris, who penned the crackling, Professor Longhair-flavored "You Know You Wrong" and the equally entertaining, Louis Armstrong-indebted "Simple Songs."
Assimilating the multi-cultural influences that make New Orleans` musical heritage so unique, BBVD also throws in a Latin vibe on the brassy and infectious "I Like It." The traditional "Next Week Sometime" and Blue Lu Barker`s classic "Don`t You Feel My Leg" are given an equally respectable reading, the former benefiting from Joshua Levy`s crisp piano playing and the latter finding its ribald subject matter goosed along by the band`s naughty-sounding horn section.
