John Rankin
Guitar Gumbo


This is an album of New Orleans tunes played in a style that I hope captures some of the great rhythmic spirit of my home. I originally started this as a tribute to my favorite New Orleans guitarists: Lonnie Johnson, Johnny St. Cyr, Snoozer Quinn, and the still active Snooks Eaglin. It evolved to more of a tribute to the music of New Orleans. One of my goals is to always be able to appreciate a simple song, and this is a good town to cultivate such an ethic....
