Beschreibung

Midwest Ramblin is a toe-tapping re-release of 26 old-time music tunes by Wisconsin s beloved Goose Island Ramblers, a trio of musicians who began performing their special blend of accordion, fiddle, guitar, and humor in the Madison area during the 1960s. Musicians Bruce Bollerud, George Gilbertsen, and Wendy Whitford explored a regional selection of melodies from polka standards like "Sauerkraut Polka" and "Swiss Yodel Waltz" to old ballads like "Milwaukee Fire." Also included are original songs by the Ramblers ranging from the zany "There s No Norwegians in Dickeyville" to the "Ballad of JFK."

Pressestimmen

"The Ramblers... bring a rich heritage of Norwegian fiddle and dance music to their string-band-with-accordion format." - Old Time Country; "The Ramblers' songs are largely parodies, sung in the gruff, hearty, ya-you-betcha style of Midwest radio legend Slim Jim, and their instrumental arrangements keep a long program fresh, with occasional twin fiddle, mandolin-fiddle, or dobro accompaniments to the accordion's lead." - The Old-Time Herald"
