New Band

In the latter part of 1963, Spike Jones demonstrated his great versatility with an album devoted not to the type of musical presentation long associated with him but rather to a different sound, one which, in itself, was quite unique. It was an instrumental folk sound with a traditional-dixieland flavor.
The album was entitled "Washington Square," and it featured many top hits of recent times, most of them from the folk music field. The album proved to be a great success - for the simple reason that it had tremendously widespread appeal to people of all ages and of all kinds of musical tastes, whether folk fans, banjo fans, "trad band" fans, or simply music fans.
Now, Spike Jones once again presents this new sound, and once again he has reached into the best-seller lists for another group of great hit songs. This time he has deliberately widened the scope of material to include such selections as the French folk song "Dominique," such pop standards as "Deep Purple" and "For You," such hits as "Kansas City" and "Java," the title song from the film "Charade," and a surprise, a great new original entitled "Stoplight."
So then, here is the Spike Jones New Band in its second delightful package of good tunes in fine arrangements. We think you'll enjoy it.
