Matchbox

DJ Jim: Hot Hot Hot! This is the best version of Matchbox I've heard DJ Mike: Smokin', if this doesn't make you want to dance, you're deaf. DJ Jim: Sounds like Beach Bop but the Shaggers should love it as well. DJ Mike: Great starter song, it pulls you in right away.

DJ Mike: Two songs in and I'm already sweatin' I think this song might be a bit over-recorded but this is a great version nevertheless. DJ Jim: Man, this song cooks. Another Beach Bop that just grabs ya' and makes you want to "move those feet".

DJ Jim: This song is a little smoother, not a smoothie, but it definitely has more of a "beach" sound. I think the Shaggers will love it. DJ Mike: This is an excellent song which is currently moving up the Beach Music Chart. This is more of an "Uptown" song.

DJ Mike: This is a nice change of pace. This song is good for Cha Cha or Shag. DJ Jim: Another great tune for the Shaggers. This is definitely a Shag Smoothie with good production and vocals.

DJ Jim: Ooooh Yeaaah, now we're cookin'. This song will have our dancers flocking to the dance floor. This is definitely a Bop tune but it could work for a quick Shag as well. DJ Mike: This is a "killer" tune. So far this CD has great song selections which should appeal to all dance styles.

DJ Mike: This tunes also moving up the Beach Music Charts. Great bass and vocals. This will appeal to the West Coast Swing crowd. DJ Jim: This is a great tune that's usually sung by Roy Orbison. I really like this version because it's produced with dancers in mind. It's a slower Bop for sure but it's another tune the Shaggers will love.

DJ Jim: I love it. So many good songs done so well. I love "Good Rockin' Tonight". Most notably done in 1948 by one of the great founders of R & B, Wynonie Harris, I usually play it by "Solomon Burke" or "The Roadrunners", both are great versions. This one's just as good. I'll be playing it often and I know our Boppers will love it. DJ Mike: I like it a lot...but wait till you hear the version by Jimmy Cavallo...all I can say is..."It Smokes". Look for our upcoming review of his CD soon.

DJ Mike: Put on the suntan oil, grab a beach chair and a beer, man, this is "Myrtle Beach" all the way. DJ Jim: Right on man. This is "the sound of Myrtle Beach" all the way. I think it's too fast by today's Shag standards where "Smoothies" seem to rule, but it could work if slowed down a few percent. 

DJ Jim: This song is a little slower with a "Cha Cha" sound. I hear it as a "Shag Smoothie". It's not one of my favorite songs on this CD, but it "ain't bad" either. DJ Mike: I totally agree, sounds a little like a hotel beach club Shag, or maybe Adult Contemporary, but it's still pretty good.

DJ Mike: Kicks A_s!! Stevie Ray would be proud. One of the best versions of this song I've ever heard. DJ Jim: Another Rockin' tune. A little Bop, a little Blues, I'd call it a Blues Bop. Whatever it is, it makes you want to move your feet,...your hands,...hell, your whole damn body!! I love  it.

DJ Jim: This song has a country flair but it's still Bop. The vocals are good and it's definitely danceable. I think the West Coasters will love this song, it's perfect for them, but Shaggers should love it as well. DJ Mike: Who are these guys, "The Cowboys Of Distinction"? I'm just kidding, as I said before, this CD has something for everyone.

DJ Mike: This is an Al Green Chestnut, but I think he'd be proud. These guys definitely make this song their own. DJ Jim: Another song which should appeal to Shaggers and West Coasters. It's got a Cha Cha beat. This is a good smooth song with strong vocals.
