Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the vibrant Minneapolis folk revival scene, this acoustic trio crafted a raw homage to pre-war rural music traditions. Unlike the polished interpretations of their contemporaries, the trio emphasized a raspy, stomping authenticity reminiscent of archival field recordings. 'Blues, Rags and Hollers' served as a pivotal educational document for a generation of young, urban roots musicians.
