The Cherry Blossoms


The Cherry Blossoms are a loose group of folks from Nashville that consider themselves the 'working stiffs' in that they are some of Nashville's musicians who actually hold a day job and do music as a hobby. This is a band that I always feel has been my secret delite. I imagine they are not so secret in Nashville but here in the great white north bands that don't really realese albums or tour tend to be unknown!

Their music is difficult to pin down, but I really like to think of them as a skiffle band. As in the stuff that Lonnie Donegen made inspired by jug bands of the American south. Saying that they are just skiffle would really be misleading though, as it is more like the kind of skiffle music that would be produced in an insane asylum. This would be a happy insane asylum, where theraphy would be everyone getting together and getting ripe drunk then joining together in song, those who could not play a guitar were given kazoos and bells and shakers and a good time is had by all.

Once again today the songs are from the puzzling music archive and the photograph is from The Boat Lullabyes.
