Volume two of this pick and the floor is still jumping — same mix of golden era heavyweights and neo-swing acts that proved the whole thing never really went anywhere, it just went underground for a while. I've said it before but there is nothing quite like a good swing tune for reminding your feet what they're supposed to be doing even when the rest of you hasn't had enough coffee. This volume gets a little wilder than the first, leans a little harder into the revival side, and somewhere in the middle there is a brand new track that is either about clean eating and healthy living or absolutely is not, depending on who's asking. Stripping away any pretense, this is just more of what the first one was — music built for a room full of people who want to move and aren't overthinking it. And I know, Happy St Patrick's Day. At least the cover is green...
