Rapid City Muscle Car is the second studio album by American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 1994 on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records.




Overview


Rapid City Muscle Car was structured around the Daddies' desire to create a stylistic concept album in which each track was composed as the total musical opposite of the last - "[whipping] the listener around as if he/she was...experiencing stylistic G-forces" - but remaining thematically coherent through interconnected lyricism following an abstract narrative.

Delving into wider-reaching and more experimental territory than their punk rock roots, the result is arguably the Daddies' most musically eclectic work. Building upon the band's then-standard repertoire of swing and funk, Rapid City Muscle Car weaves between ska punk, rockabilly, country, psychedelia, big band and lounge. The album also makes extensive use of outside instruments, adding acoustic guitars, accordions, clarinets and vibraphones in addition to the band's keyboards and horn section. A full big band orchestra is used on "Come Back to Me", a cover song taken from the 1965 Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner Broadway musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.
"Come Back to Me" was later re-recorded for the Daddies' 2014 Rat Pack tribute album Please Return the Evening, featuring only the band's regular line-up as opposed to a full orchestra.
