Evermore Fruit Cake by Joe Loss & His Orchestra: A Big Band Blast from 1955 That Still Slaps Alright, let’s get real here. Evermore Fruit Cake isn’t just some dusty old jazz record your grandpa might’ve spun on his gramophone back in the day—it’s a straight-up vibe machine. Released in ‘55 under the UK label His Master’s Voice (yeah, those dogs-know-best folks), this Joe Loss joint brings that big band heat like nobody’s business. And guess what? It still bangs harder than half the stuff they play at your cousin's wedding. First off, let’s talk about “Evermore.” This track hits you right outta the gate with its swinging brass section and relentless rhythm. You can practically picture Joe Loss himself standing there in his dapper suit, sweat dripping as he conducts the chaos. The sax solo? Insane. Like, I don’t even like saxophones most days, but this one grabs you by the collar and says, "Listen up, punk!" It’s catchy enough to stick in your head for hours, yet complex enough to make you feel smart when you nod along knowingly. If this doesn’t make you wanna grab a partner and cut a rug, check your pulse—you might be dead. Then there’s “Fruit Cake.” What kind of name is that for a song? Sounds like something my grandma would bake and then guilt me into eating. But holy crap, do not sleep on this jam. It’s got this cheeky energy, like it knows it’s cooler than you are. The trumpets go off like fireworks while the bassline keeps things grounded—kinda like the designated driver at a wild party. There’s something almost sneaky about how fun it is; before you know it, you’re tapping your feet so hard your shoes are gonna wear out. Honestly, if someone told me aliens landed in London in ‘55 just to steal this track, I’d believe them. Now, sure, this album ain’t perfect. Some parts drag a little, and yeah, maybe two tracks ain’t exactly an epic journey. But who cares? When the highs hit, they hit HARD. Plus, listening to this feels like stepping into a time capsule where everyone dressed sharper, laughed louder, and danced until their legs gave out. Here’s the kicker though: why does music like this—a British big band record from over sixty years ago—still slap so hard today? Maybe we’ve all forgotten how to have fun without staring at screens. Or maybe Joe Loss was just way ahead of his time. Either way, Evermore Fruit Cake proves that good music doesn’t need fancy gimmicks or autotune—it just needs soul. So crank it up, let loose, and remember what it feels like to move without overthinking it. Who knew fruit cake could taste this sweet?

About Joe Loss & His Orchestra

The Joe Loss Orchestra was one of the most successful acts of the Big Band era in the 1940s. The Joe Loss Orchestra carries on to this day under the musical direction of Todd Miller, who was a vocalist with the band for 19 years prior to Loss's death. In 1990, Joe entrusted the leadership solely to Todd. The Orchestra has been in constant operation since 1930. It is Britain's longest running live entertainment unit of all time.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1955, Joe Loss & His Orchestra released an album called *Evermore Fruit Cake*. It’s a jazz record with a big band vibe, straight from the UK. The album was released on the iconic label His Master's Voice. Fun fact—this record only has two tracks: "Evermore" and "Fruit Cake." Imagine flipping the record and hearing just those two songs. Kind of makes you appreciate how music was enjoyed back then, doesn’t it?
