Swing on the Rocks

$15.00

Dale Head released his latest album, Swing on the Rocks (MindWinder Records) on July 13, 2018, which expands the Great American Songbook with 14 classic rock songs re-imagined in an innovative big band format. Swing on the Rocks explores “soundscapes” in a nod back to the progressive rock of the 1970s.

Headphone icons on the album notes indicate where these features enhance the listener’s experience.

Dale’s background is in rock music, dating back to Montrose, The Beach Boys, and Boston in the mid 1970s, as well as his own 1995 solo album MindWinder. Head follows up his 2015 release Swing Straight Up (a classic big band jazz album) with Swing On The Rocks’ epic collection of songs, spanning the genre from “13 Women” (the A-side of Bill Haley’s 1954 hit “Rock Around The Clock”) to the 1997

Grammy®-winning song “Criminal” by Fiona Apple.

Swing Straight Up

$15.00

The Big Band jazz vocal album by Dale Head.

What a joy to sing my favorite songs on this album!

Over the years, I acquired some great arrangements of jazz and swing tunes that I have loved performing. From my college days at American River College’s music program and Paul Ford’s adaptation of “My Favorite Things”, to Al Jarreau’s “Teach Me Tonight”, the dynamics of this record are sure to thrill. This album, which includes a high octane version of “It’s All Right With Me”, a classic from Cole Porter, as well as slow burning ballads like “Come Rain or Come Shine”, is a collection of my favorite songs.
