In his continuing evolution from pompadoured rockabilly revivalist to zoot-suited hipster, Brian Setzer keeps the faith with THE DIRTY BOOGIE, a collection that swings from stem to bow. Backed by hot horns and a bopping rhythm section, Setzer mixes well-arranged originals with well-known covers that show an aficionado`s appreciation of jump blues, swing and doo-wop. Tunes by the Skyliners ("Since I Don`t Have You"), Santo & Johnny ("Sleepwalk"), Bobby Darin ("As Long As I`m Singin`") and Bullmoose Jackson ("Nosey Joe") all enjoy the combination of Setzer`s wide-ranging guitar playing and excellent charts played by his crack orchestra.
Elsewhere, Gwen Stefani is LaVerne Baker to Setzer`s Jimmy Ricks in a playful reading of "You`re The Boss." Clint Stacey`s "This Old House" gives Setzer a chance to show off some fancy country finger-picking. The two numbers that will make you want to grab a flat foot floogie and cut a rug in your living room are a Neil Hefti-flavored re-arrangement of "Rock This Town" and a killer cover of Louis Prima`s "Jump Jive An` Wail."
