Ray McKinley And His Orchestra's album, I Gotta Have My Baby Back, is a delightful collection of swing and jazz tunes that will transport listeners back to the 1940s. With McKinley's smooth vocals and the orchestra's impeccable instrumentation, each track is a joy to listen to.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "I Gotta Have My Baby Back," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. McKinley's vocals are particularly impressive on slower tracks like "I'm Gonna Love That Guy" and "I'm in the Mood for Love," where he showcases his range and emotion.
The orchestra's musicianship is also a highlight of the album, especially on tracks like "Stompin' at the Savoy" and "Tuxedo Junction." The horns and percussion are particularly impressive, adding depth and energy to each song.
