Dixie Company's self-titled album is a true homage to the roots of Dixieland jazz. The band's impeccable musicianship and tight arrangements transport listeners to the streets of New Orleans, where the genre first took shape.
The album's opener, "Bourbon Street Parade," sets the tone for the rest of the record, with its lively horns and infectious rhythm. Each track that follows showcases the individual talents of the band members, from the solos on "Struttin' With Some Barbecue" to the playful call-and-response vocals on "When the Saints Go Marching In."
One standout moment on the album is the instrumental "Tiger Rag," which features a thrilling interplay between the clarinet and trumpet. The band's energy is palpable throughout the record, making it impossible not to tap your feet along with the music.
