Call Me Old Fashioned (Vinyl LP, Gold)

Call Me Old Fashioned unearths a long-lost trove of post-war pop treasures, blending jazz pop, Latin flair, and big band verve into a lush, 40-minute soundtrack that transports listeners to an era of smoky lounges and highball glasses. After languishing for 63 years in the Lou-Mood Pictures vault, this previously unreleased collection finally sees the light. With its mix of “zoo be zoo be zoo” zest, sugar-sweet divas, and barrel-aged brass, Call Me Old Fashioned is a stereo-sonic adventure perfect for fans of spy-fi soundscapes and vintage lounge vibes. - Flying Out

The opening act of Louis Wayne Moody’s mid-century spy caper trilogy, 1962’s Call Me Old Fashioned put a tail on Agent Cara Seaworth’s debut undercover operation, fresh out of the Eastern Star Spy Academy for Young Ladies. Her assignment: to pose as songbird and nest, one thrush-like performance at a time, deep under the skin of widower Jack “Frenchy” Hammerli, proprietor of Jack’s Riverside Inn supper club. Her quarry: both an unblemished 1822 American Half Eagle piece—gone AWOL since the Academy’s turbulent Reconstruction-era founding—and Jack’s own beating heart. When the mobbed-up Sauk City, Wisconsin, night spot proves a tough coin to flip, Seaworth’s estranged father and celebrated numismatist “The Man” gets called up to the Not-So-Big Leagues. Will Cara pinch the minted MacGuffin and cooly cash in on a couple dozen missed birthdays, or wind up feeding walleye at the bottom of Mud Lake?
