Details:
Jared Karol is a fingerstyle guitarist in the country blues and ragtime traditions, having been influenced by such guitarists as Jorma Kaukonen, Kenny Sultan, Gary Davis, Blind Boy Fuller, Mississippi John Hurt and Big Bill Broonzy, to name a few. On this album, he has recruited an almagamation of musicians, forced them all into a room at gunpoint, called them a band, and pressed record. Okay, it didn't go exactly like that, but it sure was a lot of fun. There is great instrumentation accompanying Jared's (mostly) fingerstyle guitar on this album: mandolin, harmonica, fiddle, banjo, clarinet and guitar solos, and a solid background of either bass or tuba. . .yes, a tuba. Man, I love the tuba! But who doesn't? The album's 17 tracks weave nicely between solo guitar instrumental ragtime tracks to full band numbers. If you enjoy country and ragtime blues, you'll be sure to enjoy this record.

Jared Karol plays regularyly in and around the Bay Area, sometimes solo, sometimes with members of the KSO, and sometimes sitting in with other local bands. Check out all the exploits and other tomfoolery at https://www.tradebit.com.
