Shake that Little Foot string bandShake that Little Foot (1993)
An album of mainly traditional US old time songs plus a few Celtic tunes. Recorded in Liverpool, UK, in 1993 by a group of musicians who subsequently adopted the band name: "Shake that Little Foot".
First distributed locally as an analogue tape in 1993. Subsequently distributed as mp3 files and also as a CD on the Web in 2000 after getting the original tracks from the recording engineer, Mike Cooper.
The tracks are now available here in the higher quality lossless flac format.
The track "Sally Ann" is a composite arrangement of three different traditional versions of this tune: a frailing banjo tune (the intro), a fiddle tune (the instrumental break) and a song.
Don't miss the comic "Flopped-Eared Mule". There is also a rollicking rendition of "Bill Cheathum" which will be sure to get your feet a-dancing. Oh, and there is a banjo version of "Scotland the Brave" to a back beat like you've never heared it before.
Band members:
Steve Bannister (guitar, vocals)
Chris Erswell (guitar, vocals)
Ian Jacks (fiddle)
Andrew Martyn (banjo)
Vic Wilcox (banjo, vocals)
Recording Engineer: Mike Cooper
