The Ragtime Wranglers recorded their first instrumental for a Ranch Girls EP in 1993: the Joe Maphis classic The Rocking Gypsy. This song turned out to be a much requested one and is still in their repertoire. In April 1995 the first 45rpm record was released on the bands own label Home Brew Records.
Soon after this release we drew the attention of various promoters and were lucky to have the opportunity to do a few live-concerts with American unsung heroes from the 50s: Curtis Gordon and Hardrock Gunter. These successful shows were repeated the following years and even more artists asked for the skills of the Ragtime Wranglers: Sid and Billy King, the Collins Kids, Larry Donn, Marvin Rainwater, Frankie Miller, Jack Earls, Charlie Louvin, Barbara Pittman and Janis Martin.
