Squirrel Nuts Zippers Lost at Sea
October 26, 2009 All you swing lovers, listen up. After a nine-year break from recording music, the beloved Squirrel Nut Zippers are back with a new album!
Their brand-spankin' live release, "Lost at Sea," is a must-have for any SNZ fanatic. Even if you're not a fan, it will do you some good to get this aural gem. It features all the popular hits from the band, and it's all performed with a fresh and zingy feel. With snazzy vocals from Jim 'Jimbo' Mathus and Katherine Whalen, the highly spirited band will transport you back to a 1920's speakeasy.
Some of my favorites are the charming "Prince Nez," the foot-stomping "Suits Are Picking Up The Bill," and the old-timey "Good Enough For Granddad." And, just in time for Halloween, no one can resist the spooky and fun "Ghost of Stephen Foster" and the ever-dramatic "Hell."
If you can't make it to their live shows, this album is the next best thing. It will turn any joint into the hottest party around. They also plan to release a new album sometime next year, so stay tuned. In the meantime, get your dancing shoes on...the Zippers are back!
