Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
When God is your harmonica player, you can hardly go wrong. Not that Mel Lyman was that talented of a harp blower--he simply woke up one day and declared his omnipotence, drawing Kweskin in as a disciple, but effectively dismantling one of the 1960s' most eclectic and memorable bands. The Kweskin band looked back to Cannon's Jug Stompers and old-time string bands for inspiration, infusing these classic styles with a slurred, if not drunken, pre-hippie sensibility. With talents such as Bill Keith and the Muldaurs (Geoff and Maria) on board, Kweskin pulled it off magically, able to match high-level picking and singing with a loose delivery and an overriding sense of revelry. The formula, as informal as it was, had room for jug classics, early jazz and ragtime, John Hurt and Blind Boy Fuller, Uncle Dave Macon, Kahn and Whiting, Leiber and Stoller, even Chuck Berry. This 20-song collection offers a wonderful snapshot of the Kweskin band's aesthetic, one in which all parts are in service to the master--no, not Mel Lyman, but musical whoopee. --Marc Greilsamer

A Good and Plentiful Selection.......2007-01-04

I listened to Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band back in the late 60's and find that it's just as great today. I regret that "KC Moan" isn't in here, but Maria D'Amato (Muldaur - wha' happen?) singing "I'm A Woman" is almost worth the price of the whole CD (which, by the by has 22 selections). "Ukelele Lady" is in here too.

When Jug was King (or Queen).......2006-06-22

In the 1960's folk revival many musicans delved back into time to find some aspect of roots music in order to gain a reputation. The members of this band came up with jug music, especailly highlighting old-time Memphis Jug Band tunes and original compositions. However, they bring their own style and musicanship to the effort.

Not all folk music has to have a deep message. This band proves you can have fun, be witty and pay tribute to a great musical tradition at the same time. For those who have never heard jug music you will be surprised what a washtub, stringed broom, etc. can produced musically. Of course it never hurts to have original talent like Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur and the great voice of Maria to back it up. Enough said.

Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band Greatest Hits.......2005-10-12

An EXCELLENT CD and a must for any fan of this type of music.

This album is the missing link..........2002-06-08

...between boogie-woogie, jazz, blues, klezmer music, and folk rock. I've been humming these diddies in my head ever since I originally heard Kweskin's Jug Band back in the 1960's. This digitally remastering produces brilliant sound. One of the 10 albums I'd take with me if I were banished to a tropical island. A must have!

Sure sounds sweet to me..........2002-05-14

This an outstanding collection and overview of Jim Kweskin & The Jug Band; through the ears of 60's folk-music, it recalls the best of the 20's and 30's good-time whoopie music, refreshingly, and with a bit of modernism (Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" for example,) thrown in for good measure. This CD compiles selections from all three of Kweskin & the Jug Band's 60's Vanguard records,lamentably, NONE of them are "Coney Island Washboard"). Just as you'll find a lot of influences from the great 1920's Jugbands like "Cannon's Jug Stompers" or "The Memphis Jug Band", you'll find a LOT of Jim Kweskin & The Jugband influence on a number of bands and acts to follow them--off the top of my head--Tiny Tim, The Captain Matchbox Whoopie Band, Leon Redbone, the Fugs, Country Joe & The Fish, Mike Gross, Loke E. Coyote, all show (IMHO) some heavy signs of Kweskin & Jug Band exposure! The Grateful Dead's proto-band, "Mother McCrea's Uptown Jug Champions", for example, [available directly from GDM Inc.] had a repitiore that was largely derived straight from Kweskin's 1st LP.

This is a very accessible collection, play it at any party and watch the smiles! Kweskin's Jug Band doesn't touch some of the more "difficult" (for modern minds) traditional Jugband subject material (often a problem in these politically correct times) that some might find overly risque, or racist, but it doesn't miss a thing when it comes to the double-entendre, and you'll hear this in tunes like "Borneo" and "Beedle Um Bum."

Schizophrenic Album.......2007-06-27

The two disks in this set are quite distinct. The first is vintage Jim Kweskin jug band music, but it is only 33 minutes long. Stingy. The second consists of 10 mostly well-known mostly sentimental songs sung soggily.

My rating is based on four stars for the first disk and zero stars for the second. I find it hard to relate the two glowing views posted above to the album that I heard.

About Stumbling Upon:.......2007-05-13

I was wanderin' around a store, looking at books, picking up one and another and looking at it, then doin' the same with DVDs, then went to the CD section and looked here and there at and for this and that. Saw lots I wanted. Then thought to check, yet again, for Kweskin Jug Band -- and this was there! Guess what I did -- go ahead, guess. OK, I'll tell ya: I jumped for joy!

I picked up the vinyl of "Garden of Joy" when it was released in circa August, 1967 (even though I'm still not tall enough to be over 18, so couldn't possibly have done that). Gad! it was like reading a favorite nosepaper headline to see it again. I did what's called "scarfed" it. Strangely, or not, I had never heard "America," though a friend of years, of years ago, had it. Strangely (more likely), I've still not heard it: that's how good "Garden of Joy" is. Fun. Aw-reet! If

you'se a viper you might even remember it. If not, then you'll dig "Kaloobafack" (also). That's Fritz doin' the talkin.

Why are you wastin' time reading this!? Buy it, slip it in, an' try to not dance -- but don't step on the tumatuhs!

a lesser known treasure.......2007-03-07

As a kid, a promo LP of Jim Kweskin's America fell upon me. It was not the accustomed, but it gradually struck a deep chord. Many of the songs as performed by Kweskin, Muldaur, Lyman and company have stayed in my mind through the decades even though I haven't heard them in ages (haven't had a working record player to play that LP). I just discovered the reissue and look forward to hearing them other than in the mind's ear. The tone of the America album is peculiar. There is a tongue-in-cheek quality to a number of the performances, yet it's clear that they love the music, too. I would recommend tracks but fully seven of ten make my first cut. This is fine and interesting music, much of it from America's interwar years (that is, WWI and WWII).

What a find!.......2006-03-23

Stumbling across this set was magical for a number of reasons. Every few months, I would check the internet music sites for a reissue of Kweskin's "America" and it never showed up until... Likewise, for years, I had been trying to remember where I first heard "Minglewood (Blues)" and "If You're a Viper". Ka-Ching! So many wishes granted in one package. Two sides of one of the most estoteric musicians of the sixties and both wonderful. Someone make a movie on the life of Gus Cannon and maybe we'll have a brief rebirth of jug band music up in here.

What a welcome rediscovery!.......2006-01-17

I'm referring to Jim Kweskin's America, which I had feared I would not hear again for many a year. My old lp and tapes are lost, and this is the first reissue I've seen. What deep healing music!

It's an odd repackaging. The old Jim Kweskin before the reborn man, quite a contrast to say the least. The old Jim sings on Garden of JOy, the new man on America.

I don't believe America is for the casual listener, unless he's ready for quite a deep transformation. "Are they all 'in the Spirit'?" my new wife asked me when I recently played it for the two of us. Afterwards she announced herself totally healed of a deep malaise she'd been suffering. I heard it anew myself. It always sounds different to me. Sometimes my thoughts will come crowding in and the "old-timey" music seems suddently far away, and I feel guilty. But I relax and open up again and it's as powerful as ever. It's the saddest, most joyful, far-ranging, profoundest music of America ever sung. Unbelievable that it hasn't reached a larger audience -- but then, maybe it has and people still don't know how to talk about it.

Album Description

Full title - Whatever Happened To Those Good Old Days At Club Forty-Seven In Cambridge, Massachusetts. On this 1968 album, Kweskin and his jug band bring us once again their own delirious brand of ''old time music'' - renditions of songs by Jelly Roll Morton, Jimmy Rodgers and many American songs that were popular in the 1940s and 1950s like ''Sheik of Araby''. Kweskin, thanks to an innate sense of humor and brilliant musicianship is one of the undisputed kings of American folk music. Miniature gatefold LP sleeve. Universe. 2003.

Can he get any better?.......2007-04-11

I gotta tell you, I've worn out two copies of this CD before I had to order it again, so if you think that I think, this is something special, you're right! From the opening note, right to the end, I hang on to it all, and could only wish it was longer.

Soul-sustaining, soul-feeding music........2003-03-29

I have loved Jim Kweskin's music for over 30 years and he just seems to keep getting deeper. Brother Can You Spare a Dime is the one that knocked me over the edge this time, just got me weeping -- and it's such a quiet piece, one might say understated, at least Jim's vocals, but such depths in it. Acceptance is another word coming to my mind also on this song, I don't know why. Maybe just with the war starting, that this is a music of such peace -- the peace that passes out all understanding, if you can stay with it!

There's such a unity of parts here on this album; there is no lead vocalist or instrumentalist, you could say "all men and women are creating equally." I know I'm making plays on words but it feels important. It's what my brain does in its self-talk, always trying to tweak the old cliches into something more up-to-date, usable, and, hopefully, moving.

Probably many still can't hear this music; try to go back to pop after a few hearings and it's like what Woody Guthrie said about hobo soup, "so thin you could read a magazine through it."

It's almost got a classical music feel to it. Samoa's voice is so pure it reminds me of what was said about Jo Stafford, "perfect pitch." And Jim -- he's definitely gone on somewhere, but at the same time he's right here, amazing!

Well I better quit before I start blabbering. Just wanted to say thanks guys for stirring my pot with a big ladle.

Trad meets Jug.......2007-04-27

This is a terrific album that superimposes Kweskin's jug band sensibilities onto 20s jazz and blues tunes. You would expect it to work because these musics are cousins, and it sure does. Dave Von Ronk, among others, has crossed these genres but Kweskin's record has more polish, yet maintains the ebullient good time feel of his the Jug Band. Of course nothing with Kweskin's vocals in there could ever get too slick. Maybe it's the superior studio players Kweskin's assembled. Special note goes to Johnny Frigo's violin solos in the way uptempo "She's in the Jailhouse Now." Some of the tunes were obscure when this was released but really stick in your head once you hear them here. This isn't deep stuff, but it's enjoyable over and over again.

A terrific album, but maybe not for everybody.......2003-03-15

I'll admit it right now - I'm biased. I had regular doses of this album along with my milk and cookies, it's pretty much sunk into my bones at this point.
However, unlike many other things I liked as a child, this album has stood the test of time. Not only is it in my bones, but I appreciate it just as much as an adult as I did when I was a child.
So what is it? It's skiffle. It's a kind of jug band revival music, somewhere in between the mournful slow rhythms of the old-style jug band and the flashiness of big band. This music is just plain fun. It's happy, peppy, dance around the living room in your pajamas kind of music. Which is ironic, since [destruction], mayhem, and [chemical] addiction are among the lyric subjects.
My personal favorites are the whimsical "You're Not the Only Oyster in the Stew," and the truly exuberant "Louisiana," but there's not a piece on here I don't enjoy. I'm completely delighted that this album was released on CD. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is that friends and acquaintances of mine have been occaisionally overwhelmed by its relentless cheerfulness and begged me to turn it off.
A special note - making the CD jacket look like the old vinyl cover was a stroke of genius! It's so original and cute!

The editorial review mentions Samoa's stunning performances with maestro Jim Kweskin and his magic band on 'Now and Again' and 'Live the Life', but what about Samoa's stunning looks? For those who can't make it to a live performance, a DVD release is a must. 'Why don't you do right' by us? 'Put some sugar in our bowl'!

This CD compiles selections from all three of Kweskin & the Jug Band's 60's Vanguard records, though regretably, it contains *all* the same tunes as "Greatest Hits!" (and "Greatest Hits!" has four *additional* songs on it, and, lamentably, NONE of them are "Coney Island Washboard"). Just as you'll find a lot of influences from the great 1920's Jugbands like "Cannon's Jug Stompers" or "The Memphis Jug Band", you'll find a LOT of Jim Kweskin & The Jugband influence on a number of bands and acts to follow them--off the top of my head--Tiny Tim, The Captain Matchbox Whoopie Band, Leon Redbone, the Fugs, Country Joe & The Fish, Mike Gross, Loke E.

The Grateful Dead's proto-band, "Mother McCrea's Uptown Jug Champions", for example, [available directly from GDM Inc.] had a repitiore that was largely swiped straight from Kweskin's 1st LP.

Frankly, the *only* reason this collection doesn't get five stars, is (as I said) it has essentially the same track list as the CD "Greatest Hits" minus four tracks.

Not Kweskin's Best, but...........2001-10-29

This is not the best work done by Jim Kweskin, but considering what little is available, it gives a good idea of his musical vision. Without his old jug band cohorts, the music doesn't quite swing as in the earlier days. There are some old Vanguard sides that could be rereleased which show a better picture of the former jug band leader.
