Jo Ann Castle (b. 1939) is an American ragtime pianist who frequently appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show. This album of hers was released in 1967 on Pickwick Records.

The cover typography features West Espana. Drawn by Dave West, the French Antique variation with mid-stem spurs was issued shortly before: it’s shown in Photo-Lettering’s 1967 Alphabet Yearbook, alongside West Banjo.

Judging from the Q, the slab serif used for the song titles appears to be Cairo. Or maybe there was a version of Memphis that had such a form as well.
