For fifth studio album SAVE MY SOUL, retro-swingers Big Bad Voodoo Daddy take a detour through the Big Easy for a 10-pack of songs that wouldn't sound out of place being played in some seedy corner of the French Quarter. From the first note played, BBVD's horn section effectively becomes a Crescent City marching band on the raucous "Zig Zaggity Woop Woop," whose two parts bookend the album. In between, this swinging Gen-X septet follows the lead of frontman Scotty Morris, who penned the crackling, Professor Longhair-flavored "You Know You Wrong" and the equally entertaining, Louis Armstrong-indebted "Simple Songs." Assimilating the multi-cultural influences that make New Orleans' musical heritage so unique, BBVD also throws in a Latin vibe on the brassy and infectious "I Like It." The traditional "Next Week Sometime" and Blue Lu Barker's classic "Don't You Feel My Leg" are given an equally respectable reading, the former benefiting from Joshua Levy's crisp piano playing and the latter finding its ribald subject matter goosed along by the band's naughty-sounding horn section.
