DJ Chrisbe’s Song of the Week #15: The Raggle Taggle

Drummer Clifford «Boots» Douglas led his 12-piece big band Boots & His Buddies during the 30s in the area of San Antonio, Texas, playing for dancers.

Although it was a «territory» band (only performing locally), they recorded 42 songs for the Bluebird label.

The Raggle Taggle is a hard swinging tune in a minor key, perfect for Balboa dancing. If you don't own this song, buy it immediately, it's a gem!

You can find the songs of the series also on my Spotify playlist.
