Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drawn from the Eugene band's first three albums and completed with four newly recorded songs, 'Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' gathers the swing material of vocalist and songwriter Steve Perry's group into a single program. Its title track became the group's signature song, and United States sales passed two million copies as the compilation carried the swing revival to a mainstream audience.
