The Dirty Boogie by Brian Setzer Orchestra
The Dirty Boogie is an album by Brian Setzer Orchestra, released in 1998. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Jump Jive An' Wail”, on 16 lists with a best position of #25.
The Dirty Boogie, the third album from the Brian Setzer Orchestra, came out on Interscope in 1998 with Peter Collins producing, and it's the record where the Stray Cats frontman's big-band gamble finally paid off. Setzer had put the orchestra together in 1992, and here the horns blare and the rhythm section swings like a saloon door, with Setzer front and center.
The breakout was "Jump Jive An' Wail", a Louis Prima tune from The Wildest!, and it arrived right after a Gap ad campaign built on Prima's original. Between the two, the swing revival caught fire and kept burning into the next decade. Seven of the tracks are covers of songs written and first made famous between 1952 and 1962, and "This Cat's on a Hot Tin Roof" got its own turn on the countdowns.
