Album Notes

This is the second Big Rude Jake album, and a strange one at that. Blue Pariah was designed to push the limits of the neo-swing movement of the late 90’s. More then any other BRJ CD, this album mixes the raw elements of blues, jump, jazz, swing, cabaret, ska and punk in a way that no one could imagine at the time. It was designed to be the “alternative” swing album, for people who really wanted something different.
The album was rejected by purists and embraced with powerful enthusiasm in the alternative rock scene. The song “Swing Baby!” is still a big fan favorite, and was, at the time, a radio hit in the Detroit area, even though Big Rude Jake had no distribution deal in the U.S. Considered by many to be a “true classic,” this amazing CD utterly transcends the era in which it was produced.

Blue Pariah
author: Fred Rappley
After 50 years of listening to all kinds of music it takes alot to impress me. This one rocks hard but has some seriouly impressive musicians and lyrics that don't bore. I have had this for some time and still find myself playing it more than I expected to. If I owned a music store, I sure would have a hard time trying to figure out what bin to put it in.
