The group was a jug band, incorporating the usual jug, banjo, guitar and fiddle, but it was also considered as a jazz band due to its use of alto saxophone, trombone, piano, and clarinet (played by Johnny Dodds).
Hayes, on the other hand, favored a more straight ahead jazz styled approach, eventually dispensing with the jug altogether.
The Dixieland Jug Blowers' recording of "Banjoreno" was used by animator Terry Gilliam in his "Brian Islam and Brucie" segment for the BBC comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
"Banjoreno" was also a favorite music cue of Jean Shepherd during his WOR radio shows.
"Banjoreno" was reissued in 2017 on the 5-CD compilation album American Epic: The Collection, on the Sony Legacy record label.
