The Big Ben Banjo Band - Happy Banjos
Review by Sergio Benenson
The Happy Banjos album by the Big Ben Banjo Band is a delightful collection of lively and upbeat tunes that are sure to put anyone in a good mood. From the opening track, "Banjo Boogie," to the closing number, "Dixie," the album is filled with catchy melodies and skillful banjo playing that will have listeners tapping their toes and humming along.
The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member contributing their own unique style and flair to the music. The banjo playing is particularly impressive, with fast-paced fingerpicking and intricate runs that showcase the instrument's versatility and range.
What sets this album apart from others in the genre is the band's ability to infuse each track with a sense of joy and exuberance. The songs are not just technically proficient, but also imbued with a sense of fun and playfulness that is infectious.
