 Paris Washboard - 15 Years Fresh
For four pieces - and one of these was a washboard - the sound is surprisingly full and despite the limited instrumentation, the collective verve and rapport, applied to a varied and interesting repertoire, ensures that the music doesn't soon pail.
This is their ninth Stomp Off CD, and you can safely file it alongside the others, if you've been sensible enough to acquire any of them, in the knowledge that the music's the kind of tonic which you need after wading through half-a-dozen CIMP recordings.
Consider Paris Washboard, 15 years fresh as their CD title says, and still sounding as if they're enjoying every scatty, rambunctious transformation in their book.

 Washboard
In a jug band, the washboard was stroked with a single whisk-broom and functions as the drums for the band, playing only on the back-beat, for most songs, as a substitute for a snare drum.
The frottoir or vest frottoir (from Cajun French "vest to be rubbed") is played as a stroked percussion instrument, often in a band with a drummer, while the washboard generally is a replacement for drums.
In a four-beat measure, the washboard will stroke on the 2-beat and the 4-beat.
