Cherry Poppin' Daddies
The Cherry Poppin' Daddies are an American swing and ska band established in Eugene, Oregon, in 1989. Formed by singer-songwriter Steve Perry and bassist Dan Schmid, the band has experienced numerous personnel changes over the course of its 30-year history, with only Perry, Schmid and trumpeter Dana Heitman currently remaining from the original founding lineup. The Daddies' music is primarily a mix of swing and ska, contrastingly encompassing both traditional jazz-influenced variations of the genres as well as contemporary rock and punk hybrids, characterized by a prominent horn section and Perry's acerbic and innuendo-laced lyricism often concerning dark or political subject matter. While the band's earliest releases were mostly grounded in punk and funk rock, their later studio albums have since incorporated elements from many diverse genres of popular music and Americana into their sound, including rockabilly, rhythm and blues, soul and world music.

Soul Caddy
''Soul Caddy'' is the fourth studio album by American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released on October 3, 2000 by Mojo Records. Written and recorded after the multi-platinum success of their 1997 compilation ''Zoot Suit Riot (album), Zoot Suit Riot'', ''Soul Caddy'' moved away from the swing revival movement which had brought them temporary fame, drawing upon retro pop, rock, and soul influences and addressing themes of cultural alienation in its lyrics. Released to little promotion or mainstream recognition, ''Soul Caddy'' was a commercial failure, bringing the Daddies' full-time touring career to an end and initiating a hiatus from recording until the release of ''Susquehanna (album), Susquehanna'' in 2008. Album overview Following the success of their 1997 swing music compilation ''Zoot Suit Riot (album), Zoot Suit Riot'', the Cherry Poppin' Daddies decided to return to the multi-genre format of their earlier albums for ''Soul Caddy'', weaving an eclectic variety of musical ...

''Kids on the Street'' is the third studio album by American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 1996 in music, 1996 on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records. Overview By 1996, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies had established themselves as a staple of the West Coast third wave ska scene, carving out a steady touring niche alongside bands such as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. However, the Daddies' next album strayed from the brass-heavy swing music, swing and funk which dominated their first two releases in favor of further exploration into punk and ska. With lead singer Steve Perry (Oregon musician), Steve Perry now assuming a role as a rhythm guitarist, ''Kids on the Street'' predominantly features guitar-driven ska and punk, though also branches into such genres as southern rock ("Luther Lane"), western swing ("Silver-Tongued Devil") and jazz ("Here Comes the Snake"). Perry has stated that the abundance of straightforward rock and punk songs on the album in place o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
