As soon as this sweet baker's dozen swings into action, you may feel
as if you have walked into a lemonade commercial. The slightly sleepy
fretwork of Jordan Officer gets the opening title track off to a dreamy
start and Susie Arioli's brightly burred vocals follow along quite
nicely. Pacing up for "Honeysuckle Rose," down again for a sparkling
"Night and Day," and then way up for a rockabilly ride through the
well-titled original "Jordan's Boogie," the dynamic duo and their
competent support staff keep the mix interesting but never lose their
underlying sense of fun. Even in the after-hours ballad "Don't Explain,"
Arioli keeps a slight smirk in her voice, as if her man has done her
wrong and he wants to watch him squirm a bit. Similarly, the chugging
blues "Having Fun" retains its titular tone despite its downtempo
setting and "I'll Never Smile Again" is laced with a subtle hint of
pride. Even when the music is slow and mellow, Arioli's ability to
capture and project its mood-lifting capacity that makes the song (and
the band) truly swing.
