Roasted Right is the debut recording by the swing revival band Squirrel Nut Zippers, first released as a 7" in 1994,[1] and subsequently re-released with an additional track as an EP in 1997.[2] Unlike later music by the Zippers, Roasted Right features a more blues-based sound without brass or woodwinds.[3] The tracks "Anything But Love" and "Wash Jones" are early versions of songs later re-recorded for full-length albums.
