Details: Review…Setzer puts a Louis Prima-style horn section behind a wailing electric guitar. –Entertainment WeeklyAmazon.caBrian Setzer has spent much of his career revving up already hot retro styles to a booming pitch. While this generally worked in his early years with the rockabilly Stray Cats, it largely fails with his swing orchestra. Louis Prima–whose « Jump Jive an’ Wail » is faithfully remade here–wasn’t exactly the king of subtlety himself, but even he might have covered his ears at the blare produced by the combination of Setzer’s (admittedly sharp) guitar playing and a too-bright horn section. A couple ofThe Dirty Boogie’s cuts are cute (« You’re the Boss, » an Elvis Presley/Ann-Margret duet, is recast for Setzer and No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani), but fans of the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy might think twice.–Rickey Wright
