Review: The cover
art on Mojo Stu’s new CD pictures his National Reso-Phonic, an
instrument that’s always as easy on the eyes as it is on the ears.
The Philadelphia singer / songwriter is known locally for not only his
blues, but for his involvement in childrens’ causes. He conceived and
co-hosted the Blues Expression radio program on WPEB-FM and performs
regularly on Jammin’ In The Kitchen, a Philly TV show.
Real House Blues offers nine fine blues pieces penned by Mojo Stu and
Mitch Goldfarb. Smitten by a James Cotton Blues Band performance at a
rock festival in the 70s, he pursued a career in the blues. Having
shared the stage with the likes of Maria Muldaur, Johnny Winter, Leon
Russell and Robert Cray, Mojo Stu is on his way. The bluesman has a fine
voice and is a most capable guitarist. Real House Blues is his third CD
for Mudbone Records.
This writer especially liked Got A Love, My Mama She Don’t Love Me and a
gem titled Don’t Worry. Proceeds from the sale of the CD will benefit
the Peace, Love and Sunshine Foundation. You can checkout sound samples
at the artist’s website.
