| Lyrics: | Here a seed grows What is life but a well written prose? As she strikes a pose Makes me think there's a new love in queue "C'est La Vive!" to Eva Say "Hello" to Lou Her song takes me in from the cold One by one all the layers unfold And the story that's told Paints a portrait in purple and blue "C'est La Vive!" to Eva Say "Hello" to Lou Tonight there's a bluebird in flight I'm alone but she's right by my side Love you can't hide Makes me think it's just rude to be blue "C'est La Vive!" to Eva Say "Hello" to Lou |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
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 vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
