Pretty good.......2006-09-02

What people need to realize is that if you are going to go into Cherry Poppin' Daddies back catlogue you need to realize that it isn't like 'Zoot Suit Riot.' Cherry Poppin' Daddies have a wide range of music on every c.d. In 'Kids On The Street' they have like one swing song, a lot of ska/punk songs, and then old rock and country songs. Overall if you are very open minded you will appreciate all their work. Not to mention Steve Perry, to me, has some great lyrics. If you want to by old c.d.s from Cherry Poppin' Daddies start with 'Rapid City Muscule Car' that is a great album then get 'Soul Caddy' amazing lyrics on that album.

Sounds like: Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Aquabats, Royal Noise Brigade

Wow.......2003-03-22

I bought Soul Cadillac about 2 years ago listened to it once and then forgot about it until this year. I needed to hear more. Kids on the Street rocks. There are no bad tracks. this band is so versatile, the songs are clever. This is ska, so if you are expecting swing you may be disappointed or pleasantly surprised. You can't find this kind of stuff on the radio. I anxiously await Rapid City Muscle Car.

Amazing........2002-12-26

I've had this CD for several years, and after hearing it again recently, I feel I owe Cherry Poppin' Daddies a good review. This CD is out of this world. As you grow, your taste in music grows, and this CD has a favorite song for every genre of music that anyone can grow through. I honestly did not think it was possible for a band to write the best song of a genre, and then do it for a different genre, and again for a different one.. it doesn't end. Honestly, you owe it to yourself to buy this CD. While they may be more "swingy" now, this CD only shows a hint of swing. The lyrics are truly breathtaking.. so much further above and beyond anything that you've ever heard. Each band member is absolutely terrific at what they play. The CD is put together well, it's not like one of those CDs where, if you have some friends over, you want to get up and skip over some not so good tracks to impress them. This is one where you can let it play on, and each track they're guaranteed to like. Some say that this CD is a little poppy, as if they were trying to get on the radio. I guarantee they weren't trying to get on the radio, they were trying to show you that they could even go into that area of music strongly enough as all the other areas that they've conquered.

Hope this helps... bottom line is, buy this CD, you won't regret it. Honestly, the only better thing you could do with 15 bucks is donate it to charity.

Rockin.......2000-02-26

Well, if you are gonna buy this album you shouldn't expect what you hear on CPD's Zoot Suit Riot. This album is mix of a bunch of different stlyes and it hits great hights with Irish Whiskey, Don Quijote, Millionare, We'll always have Paris, and Kids on the Street. This CD didnt let me down at all, and will lead you into the CPD world of a band that is not resricted to play one style of music. Definitly add it to your CPD section to your CD colection.

if i hadnt read the reviews i would have hated this cd.......2000-01-16

this is not swing... more like punk-ska. luckily i was expecting this after i got zoot suit riot. but if you're like me and love punk and ska as much as swing it will be all good

This is what its all about.........2006-12-22

If you know about T3 you already own this. If not, get it cuz this is a big deal. Tommy Wright was one of the lyrical legends who pioneered the hardcore memphis gangsta sound. There was a musical revolution that took place in Memphis throughout the 90's. The tallent that came outta Memphis was caught on hundreds of low budge underground mixtapes. This album is one of those tapes that made it back to the studio for some much needed production enhancement. The result will blow your mind. His style is often imitated never duplicated. His skills make almost every other rapper sound like they droppin nursery rhymes. Hardcore mind expanding music.

5 thousand stars !.......2004-11-20

the music on this cd is a revelation & as producer/ engineer luke kaven says in his intro notes- a tonic ! & a portrait too of the pulse and energy of its writers and practioners and the great borough of manhattan( and the club Smalls ) that spawned them--- the music on this incredible cd has the very architecture of this mad crazy swinging place---like ari rolands romp st francis dimes- the teeming city is alive in every striving note and chord - (which are more elaborately delved into by chris byars` detailed liner notes not to mention his rich writing and tenor sax work here ) but this tune ---each musician chipping in with gusto on a roller coaster express ride -u came into smalls and heard a tune like this and the sturm and drang of yer life in this city is transformed instantly--crystallized into a confection of delight & u are carried away ! or chris` twist turny tune back in the cosmos-this trip flips you out --- a tune can take yer spirit and turn it inside out---by the time aris fine bowing digs u a whole new subway line into untold nether regions---and john moscas warm trombone lifts u up only to be further kicked out by a stream of steady rolling kicks and punches from danny rosenfeld drums and as the tune fades off into the horizon- you do too ! yer gone ! thrown back in the cosmos indeed--and dig the way tune number 7 segues so smoothly into the amazing tune d.t.-- standing for dylaN THOMAS as per liner notes--- i love dylan thomas too -he drank himself to death only a few blocks from here and i`ll be damned if i dont hear his drunken crazy determined blustering & haughty poetic soul in this tune -- then sasha perrys dizzying ditty further plays vollley ball w yer already delerious spirit--and the way sashas tune segues into ari`s tune # 10 - called eleven later--- just listen to that ! its beautiful ! - i keep relistening to sections over and over just to feel the fleeting sensations magically & seemingly effortlessly induced ! this music on here reminds you why u love the best of this so called jazz music after all--- its subtle myriad wonderful treasures yield up in yer sensibilities like rewards --uplifting refreshing & revitalizing -like any greatwork of art- you are transformed by exposure !!!! like many others i had the great pleasure of hearing these guys work their magic live at smalls- stepping down those steep stairs into the greatest little underground lair imaginable - hooked and transfixed- for some 6 years ---- going as often as possible---hundreds and hundreds of times never getting enough ! drinking at this fountain of inspired musical wonderment until its recent sad demise --- and listening to this raging cd-- it all comes back--these songs all grew out of and were constantly refined in this fertile crescent ! and for those of you out there who never had the opportunity to groove to the scene there--- u can hear one of its quintessential groups work out their jaunty genius right here----listen to ari`s poignant and pithy melancholy on the last tune- called once-- each man deepening the melody as the tune ambles its loping way deep into yer heart ! the warmth of the horns draw you in and there u go --until those last notes release you---- everything that is great about nyc is in this music --- this is no run of the mill album thrown together by a bunch of musicians thrown together- the humor wit intelligence drive & compassion needed to survive here is infused in this fine elixir ! developed carefully & continually in this club night after night ---these tunes were wrought ! & u can not just listen to this album once---nothing becomes familiar because the drive of each tune-- their momentnum and the momentum they generate in you as u listen - is new each time---it does what all great art can do for those w ears to listen- a constant & never ending source of enlightenment and joy ! check it out and see if this doesnt soothe the soul of the savage beast every time u hear it and then some ! u want to hear the most sophisticated ny generated genius of this whole genre-look no further ! ba da bing ! its all here and the pleasures are endless - bless all of you involved in preserving the great legacy of this musical enterprise !

HIP!!.......2005-12-10

Marilyn Harris is, in my opinion, on a fast express track to Future Street, where it's at, to a beat so sweet and bittersweet, you'll want to go there too. Here she gives us a varietal songbook that covers every aspect of life and love, surrounding herself with a pack of talented cats that bounce us along on a breezy ride to satisfaction and completion. Ms. Harris has been around the block and now, as a singing songwriter, and driving a mean piano, she zooms through your neighborhood, sweeping out the care, the blues, and other debris and leaving you with a feeling of - WHUZZAT? Besides the listed players, she has the inestimable company of arranger/producer/engineer Mark Wolfram, who also does a zippy vocal duet with Marilyn. She also has, as guest vocalist, the great Mark Winkler, an already arrived Future Street cat, who co-wrote five of the songs with her. Ah, the songs! Aside from one brilliant "standard," she wrote them all (there is one other collaboration in the set.) So, drop the needle, as we used to say, on this baby: sit back and relax - fasten your seatbelts. Play it in the car! Play it in the bar! Play it anywhere.  We're gonna take you there...to Future Street!

DOROTHY PARKER (Marilyn Harris) gets it rolling, with a message to the faint of heart -
     based on a poem by Parker: Resume. Check it out.... Tenor Sax solo - Dan Higgins
AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' ON YOU (Harris/Smith) is Marilyn's lyric to the music of her teacher,
     Hale Smith, to whom she dedicates this CD.... Vibraphone solo - Bob Leatherbarrow,
     Flugelhorn solo -Warren Luening
FUTURE STREET (Winkler/Harris), the title tune, gets the joint a-jumpin'....
     Tenor Sax solo - Pete Christlieb
SUNGLASSES IN THE RAIN (Winkler/Harris) is a jaunty, really hip, tongue-in-cheek,
     hipster snapshot of the street life Mark Winkler strolls along and Pete Christlieb plays
     some cooool tenor to make the duo a trio....
MY DISSIPATION (Marilyn Harris) ....well, I don't know what to say. She got it in a dream,
     she says. If you run into Ms. Harris you could ask her - but she seems to feel that you
     can sing about anything as long as it has that samba beat - and it does....
     Flute solo - Dan Higgins
IN A LONELY PLACE (Winkler/Harris) was inspired by an old movie of the same name,
     a smoky ballad... Trombone solo -Andy Martin
EXPRESS (Marilyn Harris) - Man! We're on our way! It was an instrumental once - but
     after writing lyrics for a New York City vocal group that never happened, she drafted
     inside man Mark Wolfram, to make it a flying duet -
     simultaneous words a-whoppin' -boppin'....
INSOMNIAC (Winkler/Harris) - Ha! Delightful, as long as I don't have to stay up late.
     Marilyn says she's the essence of the song whereas her co-writer is the opposite -
     a Day Person - but with imagination....
LOST IN THE STARS (Anderson/Weill) is a rarity among "standards". I've never enjoyed
     the song more, and we are reminded of the presence on this set of arranger Mark
     Wolfram.... Flugelhorn solo - Wayne Bergeron
DON'T WANNA KNOW (Marilyn Harris) comes from Marilyn's reading of a "Savage
     Love" column by Dan Savage. Wise advice, maybe, for the "never tell" group....
     Flugelhorn solo - Warren Luening, Trombone solo - Andy Martin
THE GOOD GUYS (Winkler/Harris) - Mark Winkler says this lyric came out of the recent
     troubles our country has experienced, you know. Marilyn gives it a groove with hope of
     peace, love, and stability....    Baritone Sax solo - Bill Liston
LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY GOODBYE (Marilyn Harris) - Marilyn says you
     do have to say "I'm sorry" when you're in love, in order never to say "Goodbye" - that's
     the trick....    Trombone solo - Andy Martin, Alto Sax solo - Dan Higgins

There it is. Play it agin! - Bob Dorough, on the cusp of the new year - 2004...

Customer Reviews:

I'm still waiting for a full-length album.......2002-01-02

I was a little disappointed by Bloodblue, especially after Hooked. My real problem with Bloodblue is that it's TOO SHORT! I love Jake, but I wish they would stop putting out 3 minute songs, especially on an EP (Bloodblue is all of 23 minutes of music). They have so much talent, it's a shame to see it not fully realized. Bloodblue is almost a tease. I'm still waiting for a "real" album from them.

They did it again........2001-05-31

More great sounds from New York, courtesy of Jake. Great songs, great voice, great album.
