The first full-legth album release from the Yalloppin' Hounds. With a focus on material with decidedly less trite subject matter than one would come to expect from today's Neo-Swing, Composer, Lyricist, and Arranger G-Clef chooses to portray real-life scenarios more-so than a retro tone. Strong, catchy melodies, as well as a hard-driving rhythm are the vibe, sparked by the raw abandon of the Hounds. G-Clef has penned songs that will instantly impress as sure-fire hits";" In New York, and now in other places, swing kids of all ages can be found regularly humming and singing the tunes!
