Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Editor's Review:

The latest album from the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies shines first and foremost for its bold combination of styles and reckless straddling of genres. The album is an odd jumble of musical styles and syncretism. “Hi and Lo” and “Blood Orange Sun” are ska, with various added rhythms and instruments. “Bust Out” is a mishmash of styles, and “White Trash Toodle oo” is a fast swing track, reminiscent of “Zoot Suit Riot.” The wild creativity doesn’t save all tracks on the album, notably “Julie Grave,” but they can’t all be winners. “Roseanne” is another notable track, with Flamenco guitar and castanets. Susquehanna is unprecedented and outrageous, but doesn’t hold up very well to repeated listening.
