Rock Swings!

[BellyTank]

Just heard a couple of tracks from Paul Anka's(yes- Paul Anka) new album;
"Rock Swings"- '80s/90's Rock songs with a BigBand/Swing arrangement.
His Big Band version of Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" is a stand-out.
It really Rocks... I mean it really Swings!

BT,

I purchased this album about a week ago, and it's great! All of his songs start sounding pretty much the same though--the real standout in my mind is Wonderwall. Good album though and it's great to hear a new take on the tunes I grew up with!

Cheers
Craig

You can hear a sample of the songs here.

I was thinking Paul Anka was Letterman's bandleader, but the guy on the CD cover sure doesn't resemble him.

Paul Schaffer? Two different fellas...

Anka Swings?

I have a hard time matching up "Paul Anka", "great" and "really swings", but I'll give it a try
