I'm Gonna Be A Swinger is an album by Webb Pierce that was released in 1973 on the Decca label (DL 75393).[1] It was Pierce's final album for Decca, after 21 years with the label.
The title track, "I'm Gonna Be a Swinger", was a minor hit, peaking at No. 54 Hot Country Songs chart.
AllMusic gave the album two-and-a-half stars. Critic Greg Adams called it "a fascinating album", but a throwback that was not likely to win many new fans.[2]
Critic Al Freeders wrote that the album "gets things going for Webb as he starts to become very active in the business once again."[3]
