Roots and Rhythms

Say what?! Music of the unintelligible, hipster slang and nonsense lyrics. Papa-Omm-Mow-Mow, Be Baba Leba, Oo-Pa-Pa-Da, Jibba Jab, Vout Oreenee. Includes songs by Little Richard, Merle Travis, Charlie Feathers, Johnny Otis, Cab Calloway and more.
Genre jumpin' gibberish. Songs about stuttering, mumbling, hipster slang and nonsense lyrics. I can't understand a word but I do love the music.
