I was walking into my trusty 7/11 for a gallon of milk when I saw a poster for an upcoming show by Rum Drum Ramblers at Fitzgerald’s. Something about the artwork and the band’s names had me stop and take note. It was a two band bill with both bands coming up from St Louis. The headliner is Rum Drum Ramblers, a jump blues trio from St Louis. They claim to have been punks before they discovered the blues. I like their stuff, of course they remind me of Pokey LaFarge, but I guess they hear that all the time.
The band has just released it’s new record, Mean Scene, I’m guessing they’ll have some at the show on Feb. 26. That same day they’ll be recording a Daytrotter session.
I Feel It Too
Ain’t Mad At You
P.S. The other band that night is Kentucky Knife Fight.
