The Swinging Chads - Why You Driving This Thing Alternative/Alt. Rock, Americana, AAA California, United States Overall Impression: Detailing their time on the road and the many tales they have accumulated over the years, The Swinging Chads serve up one heck of a fun blues-fueled time that includes jazzy tinted brass, fantastic slide guitar, and excellent vocal performances.

Expert control and an artistic application give this cover a very appealing, modern edge - enhanced dramatically by the sparse and minimalistic instrumental support. Taking such a familiar tune and stripping it down to a few instrumental sounds allows the listener to ...
