The Lovestruck Balladeers [78 rpm]

Maximum quantity available reached.

The Lovestruck Balladeers offer a refreshing departure from the ordinary. This versatile quartet fuses ragtime and traditional jazz with old-time string band music, a touch of bluegrass, and a generous sampling of rhythms and melodies from around the world. They might play a Scott Joplin rag one minute and a Spanish-Mexican tango the next! A smash hit wherever they tour, the Lovestruck Balladeers make their Rivermont debut with six wide-ranging selections recorded especially for this 78 RPM disc and not available anywhere else. From the stately elegance of "Scott Joplin's New Rag" to the raucous "Peacock Rag," and from band originals like "Ozark Shoals Rag" and "Albi's Waltz" to the quietly humorous "Redite" from Erik Satie's "Three pieces in the shape of a pear," this compact program is supremely entertaining and begs repeated listening. Exquisitely recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago in 2022, this substantial 180-gram red vinyl pressing captures all the warmth and clarity of the performances with thrilling clarity and "punch." For this record, the Lovestruck Balladeers are: Aaron Jonah Lewis (violin and banjo), Dennis Lichtman (clarinet, mandolin, and 2nd violin), Jake Sanders (guitar), Dalton Ridenhour (piano), and Sam Cronin (string bass).

Note: This is a stereo, microgroove, 12-inch vinyl record meant to be played at 78 RPM. It is compatible with all modern turntables (post-1950s) fitted with a stereo cartridge and capable of spinning at 78 RPM. Use an ordinary LP stylus; no special stylus is required. This record should NOT be played on vintage "wind-up" machines with steel needles.

This is my favorite of the three new 78 RPM releases. The quality that comes from a vinyl 78, has to be experienced. Words can't describe how wonderful this sounds.
