Navasota River Devil Squirrel 1 & 2 - Ralph White
Ralph White was a founding member of the Bad Livers, the world's first punk/bluegrass band, and served as the multi-instrumentalist of the group, playing mostly fiddle and accordion. In the last few years he has been making solo recordings, overdubbing those two instruments and many others, particularly the kalimba. Often known as the thumb piano, this African instrument is often used in the West to provide very simple bits of musical flavoring. But there are people who can actually play it well, and Ralph White is one of them. Here is the opening track of his most recent CD, Navasota River Devil Squirrel. Enjoy.
