Ragtime #2: The Country- Mandolins, Fiddles, and Guitars

Various Artists FWRBF18 / RBF 18

This collection features country ragtime from 1917 to 1935—a genre that mixes the syncopation of African-American rhythms with the melodic structure of European dance music. As these recordings demonstrate, musicians created different mixtures of these elements: some rags sound more like the blues, while others are closer to European quadrilles.
