From the moment they were founded, Mojo Man made some serious waves. They received rave reviews for both their 2015 debut album and their impressive live performances at for instance Blues Peer, Park Pop, Ribs & Blues, Rhythm & Blues Night, Groningen and several Dutch national radio shows, the renowned Radio 2 show “Spijkers Met Koppen”, being one of them.
Shortly after recording their unreleased second album in 2017 the band broke up. Mojo Man now rises from the dead with a brand new studio album. With a new rhythm section and an additional Hammond player to complete their Balls and Horns formula.
In many ways this is a very personal album, says singer Marcel Duprix. I didn’t have the best start in life. I was an addict in my teens and I ended up being homeless when I was 22. It’s in no way a depressing album though. Growing up I listened to the bands of the 60’s and 70’s: Rolling Stones, Isley brothers, Otis Redding, Led Zeppelin. It’s music that kept me going through dark times. This album is a tribute and a thank you!
