Description

Anything goes on this revolutionary debut album, as the ghosts of Robert Johnson and Django Reinhardt meet the influence of Tom Waits and Pokey LaFarge, driving eleven self-penned originals and one traditional that could have been written in 1920 or 2018. “We combine our inspiration for ragtime music with the styles of blues, gypsy jazz and rock ‘n’ roll,” explain the band. “We call it rag ‘n’ roll…”

From the busking streets to full-force endeavour, The Ragtime Rumours prove with dedication that anything is possible, belief in whistling to a different beat is to be applauded, and that the past jive is alive and well; that there really is no difference between the 1920s swinging cool and what we can produce today, an evening of fun, a sound of extraordinary consequences. A fantastic album, and an explosion of taste and consistency.
