By Samuel Wigness

There are few instances in music when the ceramic XXX moonshine jug has been used to great effect. It seemed to disappear after Mungo Jerry’s use in the 1970 hit “Summertime,” perhaps returning to the porch from whence it came. [Read more…] about Review – Dumpy Jug Bumpers – Dumpin’ At The Savoy
