Review by Tyss Azna

The Crazy Otto Medley Humoresque, a delightful album by Johnny Maddox And The Rhythmasters, is a must-have for fans of ragtime and honky-tonk music. The album is a collection of 12 tracks, each one more lively and entertaining than the last.

The album features Johnny Maddox on the piano, accompanied by The Rhythmasters, who provide a lively and energetic backing to Maddox's virtuosic playing. The Crazy Otto Medley Humoresque is a tribute to the legendary pianist and entertainer, Crazy Otto, and features some of his most famous tunes, including "Crazy Otto Rag," "Crazy Otto Medley," and "Crazy Otto Boogie."

From the opening notes of "Crazy Otto Rag," the album sets a lively and upbeat tone that never lets up. Maddox's playing is nothing short of amazing, and his ability to infuse each track with his own unique style and personality is truly impressive. The Rhythmasters provide a perfect complement to Maddox's playing, adding depth and texture to each track without ever overshadowing the piano.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "12th Street Rag," a classic tune that has been covered by countless artists over the years. Maddox and The Rhythmasters give the tune their own unique spin, infusing it with a lively energy that is sure to get toes tapping and heads nodding.

About Johnny Maddox And The Rhythmasters

American ragtime pianist and collector of ragtime memorabilia, born August 4, 1927 in Gallatin, Tennessee; died 27 November 2018. For Dixieland Blues, bandleader and pianist Johnny Maddox determined to play Dixieland-style arrangements of obscure songs that he knew from the original sheet music, including some that had never been previously given a Dixieland treatment. At the head of an eight-piece band (which also included another piano player), Maddox played revivalistically reverent, if lively music that likely sounded very much like early New Orleans Dixieland jazz did in the early 1900s.

This is where I first heard of Crazy Otto and Johnny Maddox. Great ragtime player!
This hit by Crazy Otto hit #2 on the Top 40 charts and finished at #11 for the year, 1955. 1955; the year that the music scene changed forever. It was on July 9 that Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 with Rock Around the Clock, signifying the start of the Rock Era.

Brings back such great memories. I love this music.
I've always liked Johnny Maddox, and I have had this 45 since I was kid. This is 5 star song for me
man..wish I could play like that!
I kind of expected this to be a rip-off of the Art Tatum version, but this is unique and great in its own right. Nice post.
