Profile (Pat Donohue Album)
''Profile'' is an album by American guitarist Pat Donohue that was released in 2005. Most of the songs are written in a ragtime style. In addition to his own compositions, Donohue also plays traditional blues songs, such as "Risin' River" and "Step it Up and Go". Reception In a review for ''Sing Out!'' magazine, Mike Regenstreif praises Donohue's witty compositions: Perhaps the wittiest of all of Donohue's songs is "Jazz Name," a swinging number that cleverly references dozens of legendary jazz musicians with nicknames like Duke, Count, Cleanhead, Fathead, Sweets, Toots and many others in a song that's lots of fun. Another witty number is "Give a Dog a Bone," a Piedmont-style blues song built around double entendres that tell how to keep a mate happy at home. I also enjoyed "Buddy the Blues," which could almost be a companion song to Lead Belly's "Good Morning Blues." In Lead Belly's song, the singer talks directly to the blues, in Donohue's, the blues answer back. The only instru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ragtime
Ragtime, also spelled rag-time or rag time, is a musical style that flourished from the 1890s to 1910s. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Ragtime was popularized during the early 20th century by composers such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. Ragtime pieces (often called "rags") are typically composed for and performed on piano, though the genre has been adapted for a variety of instruments and styles. " Maple Leaf Rag", " The Entertainer", "Fig Leaf Rag", "Frog Legs Rag", and "Sensation Rag" are among the most popular songs of the genre. The genre emerged from African American communities in the Southern and Midwestern United States, evolving from folk and minstrel styles and popular dances such as the cakewalk and combining with elements of classical and march music. Ragtime significantly influenced the development of jazz. In the 1960's, the genre had began to be revived with the publication '' The All Played Ragtime'' and artists re ...
