Press Reviews The bottom line is the music, and if any band swings harder, more naturally or with more genuine, unpretentious savoir faire than Ron Sunshine & Full Swing, I haven’t heard it yet.--Lee Jeske of BILLBOARD, THE NEW YORK TIMES, ROLLING STONE, etcFinally something good to come out of the whole ‘98 Swing movement. ... If you really want to boogie in ‘99, pick up this disc of authentic Jump Blues. ... If you’ve got any taste in music, the next time someone plays “Zoot Suit Riot,” you should blow their head off with a shotgun and then play this while their corpse rots--HIGHLY recommended.--Cameron Davis of GRINDSTONE MAGAZINE (Spring 99 issue, reviewing “Straight Up”)One of the leaders in the millennium blues movement. Along with Robert Cray, Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Blues Traveler, Sy Klopps Band, Pete Special and Buddy Guy, Ron Sunshine will be laying down the future of the classic American music in the years to come.--Dan Aykroyd, Host of THE HOUSE OF BLUES RADIO HOURAll in all, possibly the best album yet by a neo-swing band.--Steve Holtje of CDNOW.COM (reviewing “Straight Up” by Ron Sunshine & Full Swing)
