During the years that
Sister Swing has been alive and kicking, we have had the privilege of
playing with many fine musicians. Each one has brought his or her own
distinctive style to the mix. Riff, Raff and Ruffles is our attempt to
capture the essence and the talent of all these players in the variety of
songs we have chosen to record.

If you've ever been to New
Orleans, the first thing you are struck by is the smell: boudin, river,
garlic and magnolias. And then it's the bright cacophony of colors and
sounds that come from every doorway. Finally comes the lazy charm
which captures your heart forever. We wanted to pay homage to that
city's roots while giving a nod to its other favorite pastime: eating good
food. With those two main ingredients in mind, we've cooked up a
Southern dish we hope you all will enjoy.

This album should be played
when you get the Christmas decoration box down from the attic and open it
after it's been hibernating all year. It should be enjoyed when you
are setting the table for Christmas dinner. It should be cranked when
you are baking for the holidays or wrapping gifts. But most of all, we
hope you will dance to it in the kitchen with the ones you love. Merry
Christmas everybody!

All our items sport the logo
created by local artist, Jami Goddess. We were thrilled with what she came
up with. Her sleek elegant style with just a bit of sass was just what we
were looking for.
