Like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's were a part of the big band swing revile movement of the early 90's. Unlike their contemporaries, BBVD add a bit of New Orleans 'fonk' to the recipe and have released four critically acclaimed albums since 1994, including their latest, Save My Soul -their debut for Vanguard.
The band doesn't deviate from their proven formula on Save My Soul but it's another bouncing roll in the hay from the eight piece swingers. The first single 'You Know You Wrong' is classic BBVD chock-full of Rat Pack lingo amongst fat horns and a jumpin' beat. The entire disc is packed with comic relief. Songs such as 'Zig Zaggity Woop Woop Pt. 1 & 2' and 'Don't You Feel My Leg' are hilarious stories with zany catch phrases. Save My Soul is as expected, another madcap adventure from the peculiar Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's.
