The cornet's opening Call to the Post on Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races" tells you the horses will soon be OUT OF THE GATE and the race on to make this third CD by JEAN KITTRELL & THE ST. LOUIS RIVERMEN a winner.
Two new members in the band - Steve Lilley on cornet and Brett Stamps on trombone - tire up the five stalwart RIVERMEN of seventeen years together, giving a keen edge of excitement to hot numbers like "Emperor Norton's Hunch" and "I Would Do Anything for You." Steve also shines as a soloist on "I Can't Get Started."
Four arrangements by the drummer and valve/trombonist Don Schroeder hold an inside track with their imaginative harmonies and counterpoint: the title tune, which Don also sings

two Sidney Bechet ballads - "Love Me with a Feeling" featuring clarinetist Glenn Meyer and "Si Tu Vois Ma Mere" featuring sousaphonist David "Red" Lehr
and a banjo specialty for John Becker, "Nothing Could Be Finer Than to Be in Carolina in the Morning."
Two gospel hymns with galloping syncopations - "Over in the Gloryland" and "Just a Little While to Stay Here" - hold their own with the marching trot of "Sweethearts on Parade" and the smooth swinging gait of "Louisiana."
No RIVERMEN race would be complete without some realistic songs by Jean Kittrell to keep the runners on track - "My Handy Man Ain't Handy No More" and "Downhearted Blues."
There's a neck to neck finish with the clarinet and drums battling it out, and the rest of the band joining in on "I Found a New Baby."
The RIVERMEN and JEAN are betting that you'll enjoy this race. If you don't - oh, well, you didn't lose too much money, did you?
