Rev Jimmy Haislip, Al Mason, and Don Franz (all from St Louis, Al and Don 
with the St Louis Ragtimers) are the basis of that version of the Dixie 
Stompers.  The band had originally been together some years before (don't 
have the disc in front of me, but the Webster Records site has the relevant 
data, I think) and this was a second reunion recording.  While I don't 
particularly care for the female vocalist (she has a great voice, but it 
shows that she had never really done nor listened to OKOM in its pure form) 
the band has a good sound and they project a lot of love for and respect of 
the music.  Good stuff.  Highly recommended! (Although, "All of Me" could 
have stood to be at least 1 step higher for the vocals...but that's one of 
my few gripes)
