 Rating:  - Passing the Baton (Rouge)I found this collection to be a varied and refreshing grouping of songs. The young musicians demonstrate a keen interest in those artists who influenced them and a willingness to learn from them. In a live performance the bandmembers explained why the music comes from so many different genres, "We play what we like to listen to".

This band has some amazing musicians that give some traditional music a vibrant sound. Great recording and mix. From the liner notes, Michael Doucet writes "From Cajun to Western Swing to Hot Club Jazz, these cultural bohemians bring us a refreshing new chapter to the continual creativity of Louisiana music." I loved it! Rating: - THE RED STICK RAMBLERSvery, very authentic. It is so enjoyable to hear a young group such as the "Red Stick Ramblers" playing with so much enthusiasm and yet with so much talent. A must for anyone who enjoys original american music! Rating: - Good ZydecoRed Stick, of Course, is english for Baton Rouge, from whence the band comes..very polular on local scene in BR - Lafayette and New Orleans-- a comer-first CD (will be a collectors item) but not the last. |
