REVIEWS/LISTENERS COMMENTS
Starswinger is fantastic. One rarely hears a record that's great from start to finish..To my ears, the record is not a copy of sounds past, on the contrary, the sound is modern and sooo elegant. The orchestra rocks! tracks 11, 1, 3, 6, 5 are super cool!!!

Beautiful arrangements, elegant and captivating and very enjoyable. And look, a very pretty cover. A touch of class.

The C.D. is great, the lyrics and tunes are the sort that I would sing and you have made a great job of them, I am extremely jealous of your talent. I love your stuff it's like listening again to all the old masters that I grew up with, only it's all new, bloody fantastic is the only way to describe it. Much Respect.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
