Randy Kaplan, kindie’s favorite old-soul troubadour, returned with a new album this month. Fear not, Mr. Diddie Wah Diddie is not a bizarre P. Diddy covers disc, instead it is a tribute to 1920’s country blues and ragtime with Kaplan putting his unique spin on songs by Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and more legendary figures from the canon of 20th-century American music.
The first video from Mr. Diddie Wah Diddie, Kaplan’s first album for Universal Music’s MyKazoo label, is for the song “Ice Cream Man Rag”. Enjoy:
