There's a ton of energy here, and fans of the instrument will love this set, although the casual listener may find it a little repetitive. Highlights include "State Street Rag" by the great Louie Bluie, a fluid version of "Lint Head Stomp" by Phebel Wright, the classic "Milk Cow Blues" (featuring the mandolin playing of Yank Rachell) by Sleepy John Estes, a jaunty "Jackson Stomp" by the Mississippi Mud Steppers, and the season-hopping "You Got Me Rollin'" by the Carolina Peanut Boys. Another gem is the wonderfully titled "Going Away to Make It Lonesome Here" by the Nashville Washboard Band, which features some particularly odd, cartoonish percussion. In essence Rags, Breakdowns, Stomps and Blues is a capsule history of early American mandolin playing, and the vitality and good humor of this collection should brighten any day. ~ Steve Leggett | Producer: Paul Swinton; Paul Swinton (Compilation) |
