Desc: Squirrel Nut Zippers: Musical Candy: Directed by Clay Walker. With Squirrel Nut Zippers, Jason Bentley, James Mathus, Tom Maxwell. Since the release of their debut album, "The Inevitable," in early 1995, The Squirrel Nut Zippers have started a glorious craze across our country with their revivification of "hot" jazz, swing, ragtime and Dixieland sounds of the 1920s and '30s, offering a fun, unpretentious alternative to contemporary music. Call them a novelty act if you must, but they've hit upon a formula that transcends genres and generations. While the Zippers were on tour promoting "The Inevitable," filmmaker Clay Walker approached the band about doing a creative project. They agreed and Walker followed the group for the next 9 months conducting interviews with each member in and around Chapel Hill, NC. Walker also captured on video some of their very best early national live performances in North & South Carolina, Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco
