Search - Jimmy Sturr :: Top of the World

Propulsive, exciting, and melodic, polka music remains one of America's most misunderstood musical treasures. Jimmy Sturr's Orchestra, winner of twelve Grammy? awards, is the foremost ensemble playing what can only be accurately described as "progressive polka." By integrating musical traditions from bluegrass to Tejano, from Celtic to Cajun, Sturr has arrived at a fusion as ingenious and American as its component parts. Top of the World boasts vocals from bluegrass superstar Rhonda Vincent and folk legend Arlo Guthrie, both of whom help Sturr continue to expand his stylistic reach. The punchy arrangements add verve and drive to a diverse and moving set of songs. A treat for newcomers and long-time polka lovers alike, this album finds Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra at the Top of the World.
