Gus Cannon:1883-1979. During the jug band rage of the late 1920s Gus Cannon’s Jug Stompers surpassed all competition. Cannon’s rull-range repertoire of musical traditions, from string band, ragtime, and country folk, to blues and pop ballads dictated the spirit. He was also a multi-talented instrumentalist, particularly fluid on fingerpicked banjo. The Stompers’ trump card was harmonica ace Noah Lewis blowing powerful, melodic rushes full of bluesy innovation. Their sound was bursting with frolic and feeling. Indispensable for any collection of rural traditional music.
