J-Jump. The album Rock Swings is based on the concept that rock songs translate into the swing style very well. I highly recommend the album to fans of either genre. Though I miss the inspired guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen, Paul Anka’s cover of “Jump” is brilliant. The lyrics of this song are not particularly profound, but Anka’s smooth voice exudes the impression that everything is just groovy. His laid-back interpretation could even be seen as an improvement on the original song. So relax, and enjoy…
You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real.
