Pickles And Peppers by The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra: A Ragged, Rowdy Good Time Let’s cut to the chase—this ain’t your grandma’s jazz record (well, unless she was cool). Pickles And Peppers, dropped in 1991 by The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra on Stomp Off Records, is a wild ride through ragtime that’ll slap you awake if you’re expecting something soft. With genres like blues, jazz, folk, world, and country all mashed together under the ragtime umbrella, it’s messy but damn good messy. Like gumbo with extra spice. First off, can we talk about Lionel Ferbos? Dude crushes it on trumpet AND lead vocals. His voice has this raw edge that makes you feel like he's lived every word he sings. Then there’s Lars Edegran—piano, banjo, guitar? Guy does triple duty without breaking a sweat. And don’t even get me started on Orange Kellin’s clarinet; his solos are so sharp they could slice onions. Now let’s dive into two tracks that stuck with me because they hit hard and refuse to leave. Track 1: "Trouble In Mind" This one grabs you by the collar and shakes you until you pay attention. It’s slow-burning at first, almost teasing you, then BOOM—it kicks into gear with John Robichaux’s drums pounding out a heartbeat while Ferbos belts lyrics that sting. “I’m gonna lay my head / On some lonesome railroad line”? Come on. That’s poetry wrapped in grit. You can practically smell the smoke from an old locomotive chugging past as you listen. This track doesn’t just tell a story—it drags you into its world kicking and screaming. Track 2: "St. Louis Tickle" If "Trouble In Mind" punches you in the gut, "St. Louis Tickle" tickles your soul. This instrumental banger is pure energy, driven by Paul Crawford’s trombone sliding around like it owns the place. William Russell’s violin sneaks in too, adding this weirdly hypnotic layer that feels both chaotic and controlled. By the time the piano rolls kick in, you’re either tapping your feet uncontrollably or questioning why you ever bothered sitting still in the first place. Honestly, I dare you not to move when this comes on. Here’s the kicker though—this album isn’t perfect. Some parts drag a little, and yeah, maybe the mix could’ve been tighter. But who cares? What matters is how alive it feels. Every note sounds like these musicians were having the time of their lives recording it. No studio polish here—just real people playing real music. And here’s the thing no one expects me to say: listening to Pickles And Peppers made me realize how much modern music lacks guts. We’re drowning in auto-tune and overproduced beats, but this? THIS is what happens when talent meets passion without any apologies. So go ahead, crank it up loud enough for your neighbors to hate you. They’ll thank you later.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Pickles And Peppers* by The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s like a time machine. Released in 1991, it brings back the lively spirit of ragtime, jazz, and blues from over a century ago. What’s wild is how multi-talented the musicians are. Take Lars Edegran—he plays piano, banjo, *and* guitar on the album. Or Richard Payne, who switches between acoustic bass and tuba. And Lionel Ferbos? He not only plays trumpet but also lends his voice as the lead vocalist. It’s like everyone in the band had more than one trick up their sleeve. Tracks like “Trouble In Mind” and “St. Louis Tickle” feel like they’re straight out of a smoky jazz club in old New Orleans. If you love music with history and soul, this one’s for you.
