"Just a Taste"
CD, Only $7.50!
This 6 song demo is "just a taste" of the music of Tom Knight & the Blue
Moon. All the songs are great for swing dancing, and beats per minute (BPM)
is included for each song. To listen to 10 second wav files, click
on the title of the song.
-
Frankie Steps Out - Tom's original song is a swing tribute to the legendary Lindy Hopper Frankie Manning, and the swing music of the 1930's at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.
-
Honeysuckle Rose - a sweet old standard
-
Come Go With Me - 50's doo-wop, with Fred Johnson on lead vocals
-
Jump Jive 'an Wail - the Louis Prima (or Brian Setzer) song done at rave-up tempo
-
You Were Meant for Me - slow, bluesy original with lots of atmosphere. My favorite song on the CD.
-
Coffee Do Your Stuff - Louis Jordan style jump blues is a celebration of coffee. Original lyrics by Tom
Total running time: 22:37
Only $7.50!
CRAZY LITTLE
DREAM
By Tom Knight
SALE - Tape: $7.50, CD: $11.50
This recording was made in 1995 before the Blue Moon was formed, but several of the songs from the CD are performed regularly by the band, including "Record Hop" and "Until My Heart Stops."
"In Crazy Little Dream, Knight has gathered a dozen of his love songs, think pieces, and novelties, pulled together a stellar group of studio musicians and produced a distinctive collection of tunes with a wide variety of flavors. There are touches of folk, retro-rock, pop... and swing. While most of the tracks seem to be presented with a wink and nod, Knight also demonstrates serious sensitivity." - The Ithaca Times.
Titles: Crazy Little Dream, I'm Not Supposed to Love You (But
I Do), Until My Heart Stops, I Would Do Anything For You, Oh Honey, Field
of Fireflies, The Record Hop, Calling Me Backward, Just Call Me Romeo, Old
Cliche, You Slimy Dog, If I Were a Painter.
(Running Time: 51 min.)
