After seeing Original Rags (Piano Roll), I had to have a good Scott Joplin cd. There is so much to love about Scott Joplin, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Scott Joplin comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Scott Joplin ever.
I now have Caravan as one of my personal favorites. Tiger Rag is outstanding work of Scott Joplin. Maple Leaf Rag is another strong production from Scott Joplin. Rag Time Dance - I just love it. Peacherine Rag is really a nice song to relax and listen too. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. 12th Street Rag is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. A Breeze From Alabama is one of my favorite songs by Scott Joplin. Boogie Woogie Blues rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. I think The Entertainer-A Ragtime Two Step is the best song Scott Joplin has ever done. Nice and different song. Gladiolus Rag - A catchy, upbeat tune. I can’t stop playing Magnetic Rag (Rifkin). Maple Leaf Rag (Piano Only) is worth the money. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Original Rags (Piano Roll) 1900 - For me, this is the best of the album. Palm Leaf Rag without a doubt is the standout song of Best Of Scott Joplin. Paragon Rag is the albums biggest surprise. Elite Syncop - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. I like the agression and power of Scott Joplin - Pineapple Rag$. Scott Joplin sings his heart out in Pineapple Rag. It’s such an underrated song. This is one hell of a track. Searchlight Rag makes a person feel exquisite. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. I can’t stop humming along Stoptime Rag. Sugar Cane (A Rag-Time Classic Two Step) is exquisite song though, very addictive. I love the melodic melody of Swipesy - Cake Walk and to this day it makes me feel good. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Voice of Scott Joplin in The Easy Winners is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. The Entertainer (Sticcatto) is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. The Favorite is a strong cut, one of many. This song may be the most meaningful. After about the third fig leaf rag listen through, I began to believe this song is Scott Joplin’s essence. Weeping Willow — A Ragtime Two-Step one is one of the better boring ones. wall street rag is a exquisite sing-along.
