''Please Return the Evening — the Cherry Poppin' Daddies Salute the Music of the Rat Pack'' is a tribute album and seventh studio (ninth overall) album by American ska-swing band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released on July 29, 2014 by Space Age Bachelor Pad Records. A collection of loyal covers of songs performed or popularized by the trio of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. collectively known as the Rat Pack, ''Please Return the Evening'' is the only Daddies album not to feature original music by lead singer-songwriter Steve Perry, and the band's second studio album to focus exclusively on traditional swing and jazz music following the single-disc release of 2013's ''White Teeth, Black Thoughts'', eschewing the ska, rock and pop influences which have typically featured in the Daddies' music. ==Overview== ''Please Return the Evening'' consists entirely of cover versions of songs performed and popularized by the "Rat Pack" of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr.. In stark contrast to the Daddies' previous studio albums, the album features no original material by Daddies frontman Steve Perry while also focusing exclusively on traditional swing and jazz music, without any of the ska, rockabilly or rock influences which typically make up much of the band's sound. In interviews detailing the project, Perry described ''Please Return the Evening'' as "a total labor of love", explaining at great length the influence that the Rat Pack had on the Cherry Poppin' Daddies since the group's beginning, noting that the band regularly played covers from the Great American Songbook even during their earliest incarnation as a punk rock band: "(Daddies would ) be playing and the crowds would be jumping off the stage, and to chill everybody down we'd do a Sinatra tune or something...(music's ) always been in our quiver and we love that kind of vibe". Perry noted elsewhere, "I just find the easy breezy, warm evening sophistication feel of that music very attractive...so (album ) is just a nod to that side of us".〔〔 "Come Back to Me", a song originally from the 1965 Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner musical ''On a Clear Day You Can See Forever'' and popularly covered by Davis, Jr., was originally covered on the Daddies' 1994 album ''Rapid City Muscle Car'' before being re-recorded for ''Please Return the Evening''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Please Return the Evening」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
