Will & James Ragar - The Baton Rouge EP

Leading the way for the upcoming release of their Acoustic Album LP, Will and James Ragar’s Baton Rouge EP is four tracks of sublime southern swagger, soulful Americana and lazy, summer afternoon grooves blending with some sweet, sweet vocals.

All four tracks were originally written in the late 1970s and recorded in Baton Rouge in 1980, adding a flavour that reflects the musical melting pot of Baton Rouge and the wider Louisiana cultural exchanges that can be heard in acts ranging from the Neville Brothers through to Doctor John, James Booker and very definitely, Will and James themselves.

Releasing on BBE Music as a 12” vinyl record and as a digital download, the Baton Rouge EP precedes The Acoustic Album vinyl LP release which will feature tracks written mainly in the 70s and 80s and recorded in Arkansas in 2016.

These four stand alone tracks are a must have in the collections of lovers of Americana and Folk-Soul sounds and will set the stage perfectly for the sixteen track LP that is to come.
