Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking a surprising detour from his usual acoustic blues and folk repertoire, the 'Mayor of MacDougal Street' collaborates with a full Dixieland ensemble. Dave Van Ronk applies his incredibly gravelly, expressive vocal style to traditional New Orleans jazz and ragtime numbers. The album underscores his deep historical knowledge and versatility beyond the standard Greenwich Village folk parameters.
