Michelle Shocked - Captain Swing album flac

And although the cartoon image of her on the cover gives a smirk and a sly wink, the album is surprising devoid of irony. She treats the genre with affection and she's obviously having a good time swinging. Captain Swing may have confused fans of Short Sharp Shocked, but the album has several great moments, and most of all, it offers a good time.

Captain Swing is a mixed genre album by American folk singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked. It was first released by Mercury Records in 1989 and later reissued by Shocked's own label Mighty Sound in 2004. It was named after Captain Swing, the pseudonymous rebel leader who penned threatening letters during the rural English Swing Riots of 1830. The album was a cross-country inventory of swing musical styles-from Dixieland to Western, Big Band to BeBop.

MICHELLE SHOCKED-CAPTAIN SWING: Although her name implies punk, hard to pigeon-hole Texas folkie MICHELLE SHOCKED's third album is a charismatic cornucopia of western swing, big band, and slithery RNB. The cleverly annointed GOD IS A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER gets the party started in style, draped in sassy brass and SHOCKED's seductive, understated vocals, followed by the equally engaging ON THE GREENER SIDE which features producer (and DWIGHT YOAKAM compadre) PETE ANDERSON's ringing six string work.
