Review

Formerly half of the Dave & Deke Combo with Deke Dickerson, Dave Stuckey's more musical, less campy solo debut focuses on thoroughly exhilarating Western swing created with help from members of Ronnie Dawson's and Wayne Hancock's bands, the Asylum Street Spankers, and the Hot Club of Cowtown. What they've wrought is an explosion of first-rate Texas-California swing that outguns even Asleep at the Wheel. By eschewing the dreary, meticulous revivalism that's foiled other, less astute artists, Stuckey and friends capture the spirit, sound, and loose, uninhibited fun of 1930s and '40s swing as few have. The leader contributes vibrant originals with "(Ol' Daddy's Got A) Brand New Love" and the goofy "Hitch My Wagon." Like Ray Condo, he picks his oldies with impeccable taste. The most perfect choices: A dazzling version of the 1930s Benny Goodman instrumental "Pick-a-Rib," the Fats Waller favorite "Whose Honey Are You?" and an obscurity from Texas Western swing bandleader Adolph Hofner, "I'll Take My Old Guitar." And from there it just gets better. --Rich Kienzle
