Barber was an English jazz musician who scored a UK top twenty trad jazz hit with "Petite Fleur" in 1959 and helped begin the careers of many musicians. One of them was banjo player Lonnie Donegan, whose appearances with Barber triggered the skiffle craze of the mid-1950s with his first transatlantic hit, "Rock Island Line", that he recorded while still performing with Chris Barber's band. Alexis Korner came out of his band, and Barber sponsored African-American blues musicians to visit Britain, which makes him a significant figure in launching the British rhythm and blues and "beat boom" scenes that would eventually erupt as the British Invasion. He also briefly played with Ken Colyer’s band.

It was hard to tell what kind of band the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band were in 1966 -67. Were they a jug band, a vaudeville unit, a rock band? We had to wait until their subsequent album releases to get the picture but this is where they started out.
Vaudeville music had come into vogue for a short while around 1966 when the New Vaudeville Band from Britain scored some hits performing in that genre.
This song was first recorded in 1927 by Bill Perry’s Entertainers. It was later recorded by Jim Kweskin’s Jugband.

They became the very first band from Newfoundland and Labrador to record a full length rock album for Melbourne Records (at the time a subsidiary of Rodeo Records).
