The first Hightone album from Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys was called Jumpin' from Six to Six, and Swingin' West is the followup. The apostrophized verbs in the titles reveal the secret of this Anaheim quintet's appeal; both albums jump and swing with a rhythmic sophistication few neo-rockabilly bands can match. The Fly-Rite Boys syncopate the beat with a no-fuss crispness which owes more to Louis Jordan than to Carl Perkins. Riding that dotted-note feel like a surfer is the bouncy tenor of Robert "Big Sandy" Williams. Williams has reinforced the Louis Jordan connection by writing 11 songs as witty, breezy, and infectious as those that inspired the musical Five Guys Named Moe. --Geoffrey Himes
