Cab Calloway - The Jungle King

Band: Cab Calloway
Song: The Jungle King
Album: Are You Hep To The Jive? (1994, originally 1947)
Genre: Big Band, Swing

So it turns out that most all of the older Jazz songs were either Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, or Dizzy Gillespie. Mostly Cab though.

For real though, the number of songs I've recognized while just listening to the album here. I'm incredibly happy to have discovered this, because I kinda missed this music in my search for new Rap and Metal. Not to trash that stuff either, but I'm happy to find a different flavor of nostalgia music.

You can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, or even sponsor me on Patreon. No big, do whatever. But yeah, Twitter and Facebook are where I’m most active.

I love this song! Calloway is just so entertaining. And don't get me started on Fats Waller. I was hoping he'd be featured today, but I trust that you'll get around to him.

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
