Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies (1997)

Send us a text

Libby Cudmore was our first guest on The Record Player. Sort of.

Here's the thing -- as we were batting around the ideas for the podcast which became this one, we made up a spreadsheet and started writing down albums that we wanted to discuss. Then we began to think about people who would be fun to discuss those albums with.

We reached out to Libby in November of 2021 and quickly had her committed to discuss a particular album. Flash forward more than a year and we're here to discuss a completely different album with Libby.

It was such a thrill to discuss Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies with Libby and she came armed and ready times one thousand. She made us a playlist, Consider the Daddies, which we are linking here for your listening pleasure. It was everything, as your ears will reveal to you after you're finished listening.

Quick disclaimer: We just kind of logged in and all started talking. A proper intro of Libby arrives about 10 minutes or so into our discussion. If you can imagine that you walked into a local establishment and we were already there deep in conversation, that's kind how this one unfolded.

However you think you feel about the Daddies right now, leave those feelings at the door. Listen to Libby's playlist, listen to this episode and get yourself a new favorite band.

As far as today's episode, we dig through a lot of topics -- including how Libby's own writing was inspired by the Daddies. We had a blast and look forward to our next round with Team Cudmore. Thanks as always for listening!
