I heard a cut on the radio this afternoon called Ow! Apparently the band is called Swing West. I didn't find anything about them online.

Anyone know who this is?

Thanks Carl, but that's not what I heard. It was a much more recent recording than these old compulations.

I called the radio station and the on air host didn't know who was playing on it either. He said that there were no credits listed on the cd and he was curious about it too.

Instrumental? Vocal? Harmony? Remember any lyrics?

A little bit more info might help! Smile

There's a group in Nova Scotia called "Big Swing West". I don't know if that's what you're referring to.

This is a bad video but that's all I could find.

It is definitely not those guys Charlie.

It was an instrumental with a big band/swing vibe. Tight arrangement and great steel playing.
