Essays in Ragtime: The Music of Brun Campbell Country the first of four containingBrun Campbell (1884 1952) was an itinerant pianist of the early ragtime era who spearheaded ragtime revival efforts in the 1940s. Known for his many articles on ragtime, Campbell also composed a number of rags and ragtime songs in the '40s, some of which he recorded himself on privately issued 78 rpm records (several of his 78s are included as bonus tracks on this CD). Campbell's ragtime music is marked by its jaunty rhythms and strong "folk" flavor.
