This 'barnyard collection' is the perfect recording to get your family joining together in a musical party.

The happy, infectious sounds of Jug Band Music emerged in the 1920's, in an era before we had radio, CD's and record players, iPods etc. at our disposal, 24/7. A lot more people enjoyed the simple fun of making their own music for entertainment, before you could push a button and rely on others to make it for you!
This is organic, home-grown music played on homemade instruments, such as washboards, washtubs, cowbells, spoons, jugs, pots & pans, and just about anything else you might find in the kitchen or lying around in the yard! Jug Band music is happy, snappy, lighthearted, humorous,goofy, wacky, high spirited music the whole family can enjoy! Why not grab a kazoo, harmonica, washboard, jug, some spoons, pots & pans, play and sing along with us, and make some Jug Band Music of your own!
