The RJO is the authentic African American sound of the early 20th century, playing a good-time mix of ragtime, country blues, hokum, skiffle and jug band music.

 

On a variety of acoustic instrumentation they bring you hits from the levees of St Louis, the Beale Street bars of Memphis, the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta and the famed sporting houses of New Orleans.

 

The RJO advice is always - "Just Get Drunk and Truck"
