State of the Blues Harp on CD

Mojo called out Everything's Gonna Be Alright, Richard Studholme slipped into that famous guitar intro, Mojo grinned his grin and everything was definitely going to be all right. Mojo and the band gelled immediately. There is chemistry here. Richard had already contributed to several JSP sessions and his long experience on the New York scene was invaluable. Time on the road knocked the material into shape before recording commenced. Mojo Buford was a harp player most famous for his association with Muddy Waters - but there was much, much more to the man than that - as this album shows. The majority of the tracks here were recorded in a small North London studio and the balance at the BBC. Both reveal an energy, expertise and artistry that seems to be passing with Mojo's generation of bluesmen.
