Similar in style to The Ditty Bops' genre-blending swing-revivalist self-titled debut album, "Moon Over the Freeway" is a noticable step up in lyrical quality. The track selection is quite a bit more upbeat, as well, with less than half the album being folky ballads this time around.
If you loved The Ditty Bops first album then you'll love this one, too. If you've never heard of The Ditty Bops then this disc would be an excellent introduction. It's more accessible and infectiously fun than their first effort, even.
Standout tracks: "Moon Over the Freeway," "Fall Awake," "Fish to Fry," and "In the Meantime."
