A lively collection (mostly)
author: Fred Camfield
This is an interesting collection that i would categorize as lively blues (except for the last track, I Shall Not be Moved, which is somewhat somber). It has the groups usual collection of instruments included banjo, guitar, washboard, and harmonica, along with some standup bass, violin, ukulele, fife and drums, etc., with various percussion. The thing about studio recordings is that you can include a lot more than you can with live performances. Not sure if they have the musical saw that shows up in other performances (it might be there). Vocals are mainly by Steve Gardner, but the last track has an unidentified female vocalist.
For other recordings by members of the group, see Walkin' the Dog (by Steve Gardner, Washboard Chaz, and the Jake Leg Stompers), and Wooly Bully Express (by the Jericho Road Show). Members of the group sometimes show up on tour, so you have to watch for them. Live performances are all different and include some audience participation - also you can get CDs signed.
