Notes: Dave Van Ronk plus folk-boom stalwarts Danny Kalb (co-founder of Blues Project), Barry Kornfeld (sideman for Tom Paxton, Patrick Sky), Sam Charters (author, producer, ethnomusicologist), Bob Brill (Foc'sle Singers), and Artie Rose. This is a true jug band, with actual jugs and kazoo. Most of the material is classic jug-band fare (New Orleans style jazz, Piedmont blues), but they also do three rags (A3, B2, and B5), all instrumental, plus "You'se a Viper" (a Fats Waller tune about reefer -- pretty unusual for 1964), and a version of "Mack the Knife" that hews much more closely to the Three Penny Opera than to Bobby Darin's Sinatrified version. ~ fatpidgeon
Folk singer Dave Van Ronk did several collaborations with "Traditional Jazz" and "Jug Bands" in the New York City 1960s - very fun interpretations of old New Orleans Jazz, Traditional Blues and Jug Band favorites which were later done by groups like the Jim Queskin Jug Band. This is some outstanding American Music that should be available to everyone.
Too bad this recording is now only available as a rare import - it should be generally re-issued, maybe as a double album with the Red Onion Jazz Band LP he did. ~ Studebaker Hawk
