Johnny Mastro & The Mama Boys - Elmore James For President

Size: 96.5 MB
Time: 41:03
File: MP3 @ 320K/s
Released: 2021
Styles: Electric Blues, Blues Rock
Art: Front

01. Elmore James For President (2:31)
02. Red Guitar (3:19)
03. See Me In The Evening (4:11)
04. Child Wolf (3:19)
05. If You Think I've Lost You (3:28)
06. Wildman Call (3:09)
07. Last Dance In Memphis (3:55)
08. Baby Don't Worry (1:39)

11. One More Time (3:40)
12. The Bottle Won't Save You (3:17)
13. Little Freddie Is King (3:04)

Powerful, heavy & bluesy ! People say it's the toughest sounding band around. The band with the original, reckless sound hails from New Orleans, LA. Johnny leads the ensemble and has racked up 13 records, countless festival appearances, over 35 European tours in 15 countries, a feature in a 2013 film as well as recording for the BBC in London, German National Radio in Bremen, and Belgian National Radio in Brussels.

Elmore James (1918-1963) was an American musician that had popularity, deep soul and an energy that makes his music sound fresh today. JMMB’s 13 song new recording keeps that American spirit alive. Powerful, heavy & bluesy!

JMMBs music is a blend of new and old at the same time. Roots run deep as Johnny spent 16 years (and Smoke 6 years) at the blues' shrine "Babe's & Ricky's Inn" under the tutelage of Laura Mae "Mama" Gross. She taught them the only color that mattered was blue and encouraged them to develop their own, loose sound. The results are apparent at every show and every recording "Mama's Boys" make.

She taught them the only color that mattered was blue and encouraged them to develop their own sound. The "new" is living in the present and absorbing sounds coming from music they enjoy Today! The results are apparent at every show and every recording "Mama's Boys" make.
