Also recorded in 1974, the band’s second LP focused on the ragtime music of 1920s & 30s stringbands. The following quotes are taken from original reviews:
“Here’s a thorough delight… the music is crisply played with a wit that enlivens tradition… a pleasure in its material, musicianship and spirit.”
Tom Teepen – Dayton Daily News
“… an album that is true to the letter and spirit of the ‘teens and ‘twenties. You almost feel like you’ve dipped into a cache of old 78 rpm records.”
Pickin’ Magazine
from the original liner notes –
This record is a result of a strong interest in Country Rag-time music on the part of many people. The instruments are common except for the Banjo-Guitar and the Banjo-Mandolin.This music was once very popular and still is in some parts of the country. The album is dedicated to those who made it through some hard times with a stomp, strut or a wobble. It may come in handy again.
Produced by Lou Ukelson
