Review by Joshua Peters

Johnny Maddox and The Rhythmasters' album, "I Never Knew Chicken Reel," is a delightful collection of ragtime and honky-tonk tunes that transport the listener back to an era of carefree dancing and good times. The album features Maddox's signature piano playing, which is both lively and precise, and is accompanied by a talented group of musicians who add depth and texture to the tracks.

The album opens with the title track, "I Never Knew Chicken Reel," a rollicking tune that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. Maddox's nimble fingers dance across the keys, while the drums and bass provide a steady beat that keeps the listener tapping their feet. Other standout tracks include "Dizzy Fingers," "The Entertainer," and "12th Street Rag," all of which showcase Maddox's virtuosity and the band's ability to play with precision and flair.

About Johnny Maddox And The Rhythmasters

American ragtime pianist and collector of ragtime memorabilia, born August 4, 1927 in Gallatin, Tennessee; died 27 November 2018. For Dixieland Blues, bandleader and pianist Johnny Maddox determined to play Dixieland-style arrangements of obscure songs that he knew from the original sheet music, including some that had never been previously given a Dixieland treatment. At the head of an eight-piece band (which also included another piano player), Maddox played revivalistically reverent, if lively music that likely sounded very much like early New Orleans Dixieland jazz did in the early 1900s.
