The Booglerizes August 31, 2012

The Booglerizers mix fingerstyle guitar with mandolin and arch-top slide, leaving room for some tube-driven harmonica. Whether they play rural blues, ballads, ragtime, jug-band, New Orleans style or R&B, it all has a funky, barrel-house feel. Artists covered by the band range from Memphis Minnie, to Etta James, and Robert Johnson, to Ry Cooder. Ironbound Blues, a recent CD release from The Booglerizers, presents nine original songs with music and lyrics composed by Richard DiPaolo, and six eclectic covers.
