Banjos! Get your banjos here! First of all, you have to read the notes for a fascinating history of the rise & fall of the banjo as an African and African-American instrument. Great musicians, a variety of styles, all on 5-string banjos. Excellent! Play it all! 1. Toe-tapping folk blues. Upbeat & way cool. You must play! 2. Relaxed, midtempo blues funk with a dirty gravy sound. 3. Mid/upbeat, dark w/a wicked electric bass and a country rock feel. 4. Cornet, Keb’ Mo’ vocals. Midtempo & relaxed blues rock. 5. Lazy front porch blues, a classic. 6. Mid/upbeat country twang with great tripping strings/cool vox. 7. Down & dirty folk rock w/harp, vox, elec. Guitar. So cool. 8. A bluegrass classic. Upbeat Applachian scratch. Yow! 9. Midtempo mourn with a touch of funk. Like ants on your skin. 10. Sweet, playful, lazy Creole tune. Sleepy fun. 11. Uptempo banjo, perc, vox. A blend of new & old-timey goodness. 12. Slow and gritty in the hot, sweaty South. Damn! 13. Uptempo electric banjo, jamming. About the middle passage. 14. Slow guitar, banjo, vox. Folk rock w/hint of gospel. | ||
