An all acoustic (almost) recording of original, and a few standard, songs for the family. Elements of bluegrass, folk, blues, country and a little reggae can be heard through out the CD. The tunes are entertaining to all ages and the music is done professionally, holding the interest of the serious music listener. Instruments that can be heard on "Jammy Man" include guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, steel guitar, acoustic bass and various types of percussion. Four different lead vocalists appear here with lots of harmonies. "Jammy Man" is a great addition to everyone's music library!
