Review by Henning Johansen

Li'l Richard And His Polka Band's album "Swing And Sway The Chicago Way With Lil Richard" is a delightful and energetic collection of polka music that is sure to get listeners up and dancing. From the opening track "Beer Barrel Polka" to the closing number "Pennsylvania Polka," the album is filled with catchy melodies, lively rhythms, and plenty of opportunities for toe-tapping and hand-clapping.

Li'l Richard's accordion playing is the standout feature of the album, and he is joined by a talented group of musicians who provide solid support with their brass and percussion instruments. The vocals are also impressive, with Li'l Richard and his bandmates singing in unison on many of the tracks.

One of the strengths of "Swing And Sway The Chicago Way With Lil Richard" is the variety of styles represented. There are traditional polkas like "Clarinet Polka" and "Polish Wedding March," as well as more modern tunes like "In Heaven There Is No Beer" and "Too Fat Polka." The album also includes a few waltzes and even a tango, showcasing the band's versatility and range.

Summary by Henning Johansen

"Swing And Sway The Chicago Way With Lil Richard" is a fun and enjoyable album that will appeal to fans of polka music and anyone looking for a lively and upbeat soundtrack to their next party or gathering.
