Performer Notes

& The Jug Band featuring Maria Muldaur.
Personnel: Jim Kweskin (vocals, guitar); Maria D'Amato (vocals, violin); Bill Keith (guitar, banjo); Geoff Muldaur (guitar, mandolin, harmonica); Mel Lyman (harmonica, washboard).
Liner Note Author: Ed Ward .
Four songs short of being identical to the band's Greatest Hits, this set would be worth purchasing for its 20-bit remastering if jug band music were known for its remarkable sonic nuance. The songs missing from this collection are "Mobile Line," "Hawaii," "The Story Book Ball," and "Overseas Stomp." Acoustic Swing & Jug isn't a bad release at all, just a redundant one, since Greatest Hits remains available on CD, too. It's up to listeners to decide which set belongs in their collections. ~ Brian Beatty

Professional Reviews

Dirty Linen (4-5/99, p.57) - "...[sounds] as fresh and honest as when they were recorded over a quarter century ago [1963]....ACOUSTIC SWING & JUG is a piece of history well worth revisiting."
