Backroads and Banjos

Jug Bands

The subject of this airing of Backroads and Banjos is the jug band, a genre not always well-received by the musical world, which originated in the late nineteenth century and was most popular in the seedier areas of society. This type of music is made by simply humming into the jug, which gives the needed resonance to make the signature deep sound.
