Review by Oliver Parish

Favorites by Banjo Kings is a delightful album that showcases the best of banjo music. The album features 14 tracks that are a mix of classic and contemporary banjo tunes, each performed to perfection by the talented musicians of Banjo Kings.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Dueling Banjos," a classic banjo tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," "Cripple Creek," and "Turkey in the Straw," all of which are performed with great skill and precision.

What sets this album apart from others in the genre is the way in which the Banjo Kings infuse their own unique style and personality into each track. They manage to take classic banjo tunes and make them sound fresh and new, without losing any of the charm and appeal of the original.

About The Banjo Kings

The Banjo Kings were one of the very few (if only) groups recorded by the label in the 1950s that could be considered a bit corny. Formed by banjoists Dick Roberts and Red Roundtree in 1951, the band had either Joe Heimlich, Ernie Anderson or Vito Mumolo on third banjo, plus a three-piece rhythm section that usually included pianist Stan Wrightsman. They played at Dixieland festivals and made several records, from which a CD sampler called Favorites was issued in the late '80s. The Banjo Kings' music tended to include some rags, pop tunes from the 1920s and earlier, and singalongs.
