Includes liner notes by Van Morrison, Lonnie Donegan and Chris Barber.Skiffle--a weird amalgam of folk, blues, and British music hall, never really caught on in the U.S., but in England it was the most important vector of post-war British pop before the coming of rock & roll. Donegan was the genre's biggest star (his first hit, "Rock Island Line," was made in 1954 as a member of trombonist Chris Barber's trad jazz band), and here he reunites with Barber and younger skiffle fan Morrison for spirited, sloppy-in-the-best-way, renditions of his (and the genre's) biggest hits. At 70, Donegan still sounds exactly like he did in the '50s, and all three musicians seem to be having the time of their lives, as does special guest pianist Dr. John, whose New Orleans influence adds some welcome variety.
