" Bogguss, whose pitch-perfect voice was once compared to sparkling crystal water by her late mentor Chet Atkins, has taken a sharp turn from country music with her new album, "Swing It brings to mind the soundtrack of a black-and-white film where the actors jump 'n' jive in a crowded ballroom or sip gin at a tall bar "I'm a horrible optimist," she says That really excited me Five songs were written by Nashville jazz singer April Barrows, two by Bogguss' longtime sideman Paul Kramer, and one by her and her husband, songwriter Doug Crider "I feel very positive about things bogguss "It's been a transition from two tour buses and everything being taken care of for you to being back in the trenches again," she said Benson was apprehensive at first She sang a season at Dolly Parton's theme park in Pigeon Forge before landing her deal with Capitol Bogguss Swings Over to Jazz on New Album Jun 18, 11:27 AM EST NASHVILLE, Tenn "Fortunately, because I was so hands-on in the beginning, I think it's easier for me to see successes in smaller increments "This is the kind of music I like to listen to now " Bogguss says her jazz excursion isn't as big a stretch as it seems "Eat at Joe's," from her 1992 album "Voices in the Wind," would fit nicely on "Swing "I learned the basics of that singing style from Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, people I heard around the house growing up," she said " After earning a degree in art at Illinois State University, Bogguss drove around the country with her dog, playing the folk music circuit and peddling albums from her trunk "Swing" is on the small independent label Compadre Records, and Bogguss is hoping for strong word of mouth to drive sales and airplay That hardcore country crowd that saw her jazzing up the Opry stage? They loved it " She followed with another jazz number, this one a new duet recorded with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel called "Cupid Shot Us Both with One Arrow com " But this is the first time she has recorded an entire album of such material "One thing I didn't want to do is have Suzy make her, quote, standards album," Benson said " And maybe she should Bogguss had a string of country hits in the early 1990s that recalled rock acts like Linda Ronstadt and Poco "As much as I enjoy those albums, I didn't think it would be a smart thing to do " Co-produced by Bogguss and Benson, it's inspired by '40s and '50s jazz and the crooning style of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin I didn't want anything serious, not one sad ballad," she said, sitting barefoot in Roy Acuff's old dressing room before her Opry show I was looking for new material that smacked of that sensibility She recently returned from the International Music Festival in Krakow, Poland, and played the Fan Fair country music mega-festival â€â€? Acoustic guitar in hand, country artist Suzy Bogguss stood center stage at the venerable Grand Ole Opry and began her second song The bass line flowed, the snare drum tapped a smooth beat and Bogguss sang Nat King Cole's swinging jazz classic, "Straighten Up and Fly Right " She found it not in the jazz clubs of New Orleans or New York, but in Nashville Bogguss says she's happiest on stage, no matter how big or small Bogguss, 46, has stuck her toe in this water before "There are so many that the definitive version has already been done "I wanted to stay away from standards," Bogguss said But her career cooled, and Bogguss split with her longtime label Capitol in the late '90s " The rest are new songs that sound as though they were written 50 years ago "Swing" is her first non-holiday project in three years " But once he heard the songs, he was committed That's just one of the changes since she left Capitol "Outbound Plane," "Aces," "Drive South" and "Hey Cinderella" were radio staples, and her albums went gold or platinum And that's when it happened Four of the tracks are old jazz standards, including Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me" and Billie Holiday's "Comes Love "I was thinking they were recorded in 1952 or '53," said Benson, who also plays guitar on the record "And sure enough it was brand new stuff She was born and raised in rural Illinois where her father, an assembly worker for International Harvester, liked country while her mother, a secretary, preferred big band and swing jazz â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
