"It was fun to have the Raggs Band back in the studio and to record new, fresh renditions of these classic songs. The original cast also reprised their roles in clever cameo intros to each song. The whole album rocks in true Raggs fashion!"

“It was fun to have the Raggs Band back in the studio and to record new, fresh renditions of these classic songs,” Fred Story, head of “Raggs”’ music team and founder of Concentrix Music and Sound Design in Charlotte NC, commented. “The original cast also reprised their roles in clever cameo intros to each song.

The songs are all public domain songs and no writer credits are known.
