Coming as part of a series of releases on BBE Music that have been curated by Paul Hillery, Will and James Ragar's The Acoustic Album is another masterpiece of Americana and the brothers' folk-soul sound that links to artists including Terry Callier, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Richie Havens. A sound that has a geographical spread from across the USA, and in the case of of James and Will develops a Southern Bayou breeze that drips with AOR, Country and Soul with echoes of Woodstock and Laurel Canyon.
Will and James Ragar were born in Texas and Arkansas respectively and their 'Will and James Ragar One' debut album, recorded in 1980, was the first to be re-issued on BBE Music. With the four track Baton Rouge EP now joined by the vinyl release of The Acoustic Album the label offers music fans an absolutely essential cannon of music that defines the genre.
The Acoustic Album features 16 tracks written between the late 70s and mid-90s and recorded as an album over one session through April of 2016 in Conway, Arkansas. With the brothers playing acoustic guitars (Will a Rainsong and James a hand made S. Yairi) this session allowed them to record dual guitar and their vocals into layered harmonics. The album becoming a series of songs that reflect and pertain to periods of transition in the lives of the brothers as individuals and as a musical duo.
Releasing as both digital and a double vinyl LP The Acoustic Album complements the BBE releases of Will and James Ragar's One LP, the recent Baton Rouge EP and adds yet another 'must have' LP in a music lover's collection.
