(Space Age Bachelor Pad) The Daddies are back and doing what they are known for…rocking out several genres on the same disc. Yeah, many people only associate the Daddies with swing, but people who heard them before the Zoot Suit Riot compilation know that swing is just a small slice of their pie. They take a wild ride through rockabilly, latin influenced rock, punk, ska, flamenco and yes even swing. Some songs are about ruined by the turn of a single phrase, such as “Wingtips”, but others are new classics like “Blood Orange Sun”. Overall Susquehana is one of the best albums put out this year and will most likely be overlooked by the mainstream due to its diversity. If you love to hear a band of extremely talented musicians playing a whole lot of different styles then the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies will fill that void and get you on your feet.
