Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 16, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

I wonder what a couple of these bands are using to get the old record quality.

WR:

↳ Song: "Staggerlee" by "Jim Kweskin & The Neo-Passé Jazz ...
I never bedore noticed Kweskin using band name "The Neo-Passé Jazz Band" , though it was printed (in small print) on the 1967 record cover (and probably elsewhere as well).

Didn't realize the album was that old. Kweskin put out quite a lot of albums. Jim Kweskin's America comes to mind as one not credited to a jug band

Speaking of getting old record quality, have you seen the documentary American Epic about the first commercial recording system in which current performers were recorded with equipment from the 1920s?
