Grey Gull Dance Orchestra The Banjopators - That Big Blonde Mamma Chick A Dee

Review by Nate Ritter

The Grey Gull Dance Orchestra's album That Big Blonde Mamma Chick A Dee is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes from the 1920s and 30s. Led by the Banjopators, the band's tight arrangements and lively playing create a joyful atmosphere that makes it impossible not to tap your feet and dance along.

The album features a mix of instrumental tracks and vocal numbers, with the Banjopators' skillful banjo playing taking center stage throughout. The band's chemistry is evident in the way they seamlessly blend together, creating a unified sound that is both polished and free-spirited.

Standout tracks include "I Like Pie, I Like Cake" and "Sweet Georgia Brown," both of which showcase the Banjopators' knack for catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms. The album also features some lovely vocal performances, such as on "My Honey's Lovin' Arms," where the singer's smooth voice perfectly complements the band's swinging accompaniment.
