notes
Doc Scanlon's Rhythm Boys has traditionally been part of Albany, New York's hugely successful First Night party every year (save one) since the event's inception in 1984. "Live at First Night", their second CD release, was recorded at the 1995 celebration.
The recording also serves at an anniversary album of sorts, marking the group's 20th year performing!
The album's song selections are a grab bag of the band's history, including one of the first songs they ever worked up, "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin.'" In between are Louis Jordan and Louis Prima jump blues, early 50's Rock, Big Band Swing and Ballads - the styles that make up the combo's trademark danceable potpourri.
There is even a holiday entry on the release, with Chuck Berry's "Run, Run, Rudolph" and an original song by songwriter Sam Whedon, "The Toaster Song."
This album will give you the unexpurgated, energetic live sound of a hot band on an exciting night.

"...the Rhythm Boys know how to rock or swing an all-age audience into a frenzy of exuberant applause and jubilant dancing."
-SOURCE MAGAZINE, ALBANY, NY
"They nearly stole the show from B.B. King with their rollicking mix of swing, jazz and early rock 'n' roll."
-BENNINGTON BANNER, BENNINGTON, VT
"...music that gets you jumpin' and dancin'."
-WOODSTOCK TIMES, WOODSTOCK, NY
"... a hip sensibility, a soulful heart and a big dance beat."
-BERKSHIRE EAGLE, PITTSFIELD, MA
"... a band that keeps getting better and can turn on a dime between black ties and blue jeans."
-THE RECORD, TROY, NY
"... a household name in the Hudson Valley, and for good reason, crowd-pleasing delicious sounds for fans of jumpin' jive, swing and rock 'n' roll."
