"The whole album rocks in true Raggs fashion!"
Fred Story, Founder of Concentric Music and Sound Design
“It was fun to have the Raggs Band back in the studio and to record new, fresh renditions of these classic songs,” Fred Story, head of Raggs’ music team and founder of Concentrix Music and Sound Design in Charlotte NC, commented. “The original cast also reprised their roles in clever cameo intros to each song. The whole album rocks in true Raggs fashion!” Fred Story and Michael McGinnis, also a key Raggs team member at Concentrix, arranged the new songs and produced the music sessions. The songs are all public domain songs and no writer credits are known.
While the “Raggs” TV series already includes over 200 original songs, the team at Blue Socks Media, owners of the Raggs brand, felt the demand for these songs from their online and live show fans. The new songs will also be incorporated into the “Play at Palladium with Raggs” program at the Grand Palladium Resorts in Punta Cana, DR; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Riviera Maya and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; and Salvador, Brazil, where the Raggs characters perform live shows and host events.
