The Boogaloo Swamis - Down At The Roadhouse

Review by Isaias L

The Boogaloo Swamis' album "Down at the Roadhouse" is a delightful blend of blues, jazz and swing that will get your foot tapping and your body moving. With a mix of original compositions and covers, the band delivers a polished, energetic sound that is sure to please.

The album opens with the upbeat "Roadhouse Boogie," a toe-tapping tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band showcases their musical chops with tracks like "I'm a Woman" and "Take the A Train," where the horns and guitar solos are particularly impressive.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blues for the Uptown," a slow, sultry number that highlights the soulful vocals of lead singer, Tony Velarde. His voice is smooth and emotive, perfectly suited for the blues genre.
