Our Take

The latest offering from the Jake Leg Jug Band, "Break A Legin," is a delightful romp through the bygone era of jug band music. These British lads have managed to capture the essence of the 1920s with their infectious blend of blues, jazz, and old-timey folk tunes.

From the rollicking opener "Moonshine Mamas" to the melancholic ballad "Lost My Way," the album is a foot-stomping good time from start to finish. The band's playful energy and tight musicianship shine through on every track, transporting listeners to a world where flappers dance and moonshine flows freely.

Lead vocalist Tommy "Twinkle Toes" Johnson's gravelly voice adds a gritty charm to the proceedings, while banjo player Sally "Sassafras" Smith's nimble fingers keep the pace lively and engaging. The rest of the band members, including washboard aficionado Harry "Hot Plate" Higgins and kazoo maestro Billy "Bugle Boy" Barnes, round out the group's sound with aplomb.

Standout tracks include the toe-tapping "Jug Band Blues" and the rollicking "Hot Tamale," which are sure to have you tapping your feet and reaching for a bottle of bootleg booze. Overall, "Break A Legin" is a delightful homage to a bygone era, delivered with the Jake Leg Jug Band's signature wit and charm. Don't miss out on this toe-tapping trip down memory lane!
