Our Take

Picture this: a dimly lit room, the sound of clinking glasses and laughter in the air, and a lone piano player hitting those keys with as much gusto as they can muster. That is the essence of ragtime, and the "Very Best Of Ragtime" compilation album captures it perfectly.

From the iconic opening track "Maple Leaf Rag" by the legendary Scott Joplin to lesser-known gems like "The Entertainer" by Jelly Roll Morton, this album is a journey through the history of this infectious genre. Each track is like a time machine, transporting you back to the roaring twenties when ragtime was all the rage.

The piano takes center stage throughout the album, with its jaunty melodies and infectious rhythms keeping your toes tapping and your head nodding along. The musicianship on display here is truly impressive, with each artist bringing their own unique flair to the genre.

But what really sets this album apart is its ability to surprise and delight. Just when you think you've heard it all, a track like "Solace" by Scott Joplin comes on and blows you away with its soulful beauty. It's moments like these that remind you why ragtime will always have a special place in the hearts of music lovers everywhere.

So grab a drink, sit back, and let the sounds of the "Very Best Of Ragtime" wash over you. You won't be disappointed. Trust me, this album is the bee's knees.
