The Brothers of Mothershovel "Lay Back and Think of Croydon"
Release date: 19 March 2014
Running time: 39:12, 11 tracks
The Brothers of Mothershovel hail from Croydon, South London. Their debut album, produced by Gavin at Rocket Studio, is titled “Lie Back and Think of Croydon”. Yes, they have put Croydon instead of England. The band that has recorded the album consisted of Brother Ad on harmonica and vocals, Brother Ja on bass, Brother Dan on guitar and vocals, Brother Yohann on fiddle, drums and heater and Cousin Gav on organ on 'King Gooseberry' and drums on 'Cent Vingt'. Even if the title of the album is 100% British, the music comes from the other side of the pond: their stuff is a gumbo of blues, cajun and country influences. The Brothers of Mothershovel live in England, but their self-penned songs come directly from Louisiana and Tennessee.
The highlights on the album would be “The Ballad of Dirk Van den Berg”, an instrumental on which fiddle plays the lead role; “Cent Vingt”, another instrumental based on harmonica and fiddle; “Can’t Catch Me”, a lively song; “Hovel Bop” an infectious number were the harmonica truly shines, and “Midnight Sunshine”.
If you like the live music atmosphere (smoke, sweat, darkness, booze) with the swampy influence from the Southern states, try this.
Tracklist:
01. My Number 03:37
02. Hovel Bop 03:12
03. Shell Life 03:33
04. On The Run 03:54
05. The Ballad Of Dirk Van Den Berg 03:53
06. One Good Night 03:20
07. Can't Catch Me 04:14
08. Midnight Sunshine 03:56
09. Shovel Pop (feels so good) 03:08
10. King Gooseberry 03:07
11. Cent Vingt 03:23
