John Ragusa and Hugh Pool

©2000, No Label Records - 100 Percent Boot
“Mulebone” captures Hugh and John’s stripped-down vibe on CD. The result is a record as simple as it is inspiring. It’s a collection of brilliantly played traditionals', delivering an unforgettable tour of the Piedmont and Delta blues sound. The CD charted in the top 100 on the "Americana Roots" chart for National radio airplay as reported by the Album Network, and was completely sold out within the first year.

"John Ragusa is one of today's finest improvisational flutists. Together with the excellent piano work of Rob Silvan, they form a tapestry of musical excursions that will take you on a wonderful journey. It is spirit-filled jazz."

Paul Horn
