about

Ranky Tanky – South Carolina’s global Gullah ambassadors and the Billboard chart-toppers making “soulful honey to the ears” (NPR) – have released their new album Good Time today via Resilience Music Alliance. After weeks of teasing new music and already releasing a pair of EPs this summer, the five-piece brings it all home on Good Time. The full-length includes the entirety of those two previous releases, as well as the brand-new title track and a version of “Worried Now” (made famous by The Carter Family and then Woody Guthrie) that caused No Depression to note “nobody matches Ranky Tanky’s country/folk/funk/soul treatment.” Good Time’s twelve songs fuse West African influences with the traditions of the American South, carrying on the musical heritage of the band’s Gullah community in coastal South Carolina.

To celebrate the release, Ranky Tanky have shared a joyous new video for the title track via Garden & Gun. The visual explores Charleston’s Gullah community through the band’s eyes, visiting a selection of local mainstays before an epic rent party-turned-raucous celebration at the legendary Commodore jazz club. Garden & Gun says "If it doesn’t get you moving, you might want to check your heartbeat...an embodiment of pure joy."

Ranky Tanky (which is a Gullah phrase for “get funky”) are Quentin Baxter (Drums), Kevin Hamilton (Bass), Quiana Parler (Vocals), Clay Ross (Guitar) and Charlton Singleton (Trumpet). The group’s members are predominantly jazz and gospel musicians raised within the Gullah tradition and are lifelong friends brought together by their years in the Charleston music scene. After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2017, the group quickly gained attention for being “in a league of their own” (NPR, All Things Considered), topping the Billboard Jazz charts, performing on the TODAY Show and sitting down with Terry Gross for a Fresh Air interview. They will keep the momentum going into the fall as the subjects of an extensive feature in Oxford American’s South Carolina Music Issue.
