The Dirty Boogie features “Jump Jive An’ Wail”
The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a swing band formed in 1992 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. Their debut self-titled album was released in 1994 and was followed up in 1996 with Guitar Slinger. In 1998, for their breakout album The Dirty Boogie, the group covered Louis Prima’s “Jump, Jive An’ Wail,” which originally appeared on Prima’s 1957 album The Wildest! and found themselves with a runaway hit. The album’s success led to a massive tour spanning the fall of 1998 through the summer of 1999, including a performance at the infamous Woodstock 1999. The Dirty Boogie’s success was capped with a Grammy win for Brian’s version of “Sleepwalk” for Best Pop Instrumental in 1999. That would be the first Grammy that Setzer would bring home with the Orchestra.
With the success of the recent Guitar Slinger reissue from the Brian Setzer Orchestra we are now excited to announce for the first time on vinyl since 1998, The Dirty Boogie. The project will be available in two limited edition remastered 180-gram vinyl colors in a special gatefold jacket on January 10th. There are only 300 of the multi-color splatter and 700 of the seafoam melt. The Dirty Boogie is the third release from the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
In addition to Prima’s “Jump Jive An’ Wail,” the project features a cover of Santo & Johnny’s classic “Sleepwalk,” the rockin’ title track, “Since I Don’t Have You” by the Kyliners, “This Cat’s On A Hot Tin Roof,” and Bull Moose Jackson’s “Nosey Joe” featuring a brilliant guest appearance by Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, to name just a few. This is the second in a series of three reissues from Deko Entertainment with Guitar Slinger already released and Vavoom! coming in early 2025.
