NEW VINYL LP ON MUSIC ON VINYL 2010.

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

It’s not accurate to say Southside Johnny and Waits sound exactly alike, but Southside Johnny’s gravelly, raspy and growling voice is tailor-made for exploring the Tom Waits songbook, his voice takes on a majestic quality which brings a new nobility to the Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan songs covered here. We discover that the music of Waits is suited for the swing and big band treatment that Southside Johnny gives it on Grapefruit Moon. Songs such as the “Temptation” and “Please Call Me Baby” show why these compositions fit well into the swing genre. First of all, the songs have wonderful lyrics. Secondly, the melodic structure of these songs are perfect for being played as a swing tunes – especially if the band is tight. And LaBamba’s Big Band is very tight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southside_Johnny
