Dr Ragtime & His Pals

Two CD set. 2008 album from Jack Rose, and double packed with the long sold out self titled release. The first disc, Dr. Ragtime and His Pals is Jack duetting with the likes of Glenn Jones, Micah Smaldone, Mike Gangloff, Harmonica Dan, and Sean Bowles. It is Rose displaying his formidable prowess as a guitar picker, and lap steel player with a foil to play alongside. This is a major work from a big player in the modern American primitive world - often compared to the likes of Fahey. Jack Rose is a rare talent. The self titled second disc contains a couple of solo versions of tracks for the duets disc, but again, this supports the theory of Jack Rose constantly evolving and developing his art.
