Review by Angela Holland

Earl McDonald's Original Louisville Jug Band has released a fantastic album titled Louisville Special Rocking Chair Blues. The album features a collection of blues and jazz tracks that perfectly capture the essence of the early 20th century. The band's instrumentation is superb, with each member contributing to the overall sound of the album. The use of the jug, washboard, and harmonica adds a unique flavor to the music, creating a distinct and authentic sound.

The album opens with the upbeat track "Rocking Chair Blues," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's energy is infectious, and listeners will find themselves tapping their feet and swaying along to the music. The album also features slower, more melancholic tracks like "Casey Bill" and "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You," which showcase the band's versatility and range.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cairo Blues," which features a haunting melody and powerful vocals. The track is a perfect example of the band's ability to create a mood and tell a story through their music.
