i heard some of the tracks, and i really want this album. i have always been a big fan of standards and it's cool to hear songs of this era interpreted to the days of swing/big band.




Sonically amazing, musically impeccable, vocally superb, this album swings hard from start to finish. Crank it loud on a great stereo. Crank it loud in your car with the windows open and the top down. This is fun music, this is music to drink cocktails to, this is a seriously fun album that seriously swings hard!

Beginning his career by entering amateur contests and sneaking into clubs, Paul Anka has gone on to become one of the most prolific, successful songwriters in history. This year marks his 47th Anniversary in show business, which he celebrates with the June 7th Global release of his latest album, "Rock Swings." It is a concept that takes rock hits from the 80's and adds a swing arrangement to give them a completely different, and fresh new sound. Songs like "Jump" by Van Halen, "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, "Wonderwall" by Oasis.

Watch for Paul to appear on major national USA TV in June.

we'll use you as firewood if we do!

If it would have been The Cure, MJ, Bon Jovi, Black Sabbath it would have been H.I.M.
