On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro sound. His bluesy swingin' and singin' and tasty guitar licks reminds one of crooners past and present - Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, and John Pizzarelli come to mind, but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel that gives his music a very contemporary 2010 vibe.
