Mojo Working

A lost studio recording from a legendary blues man! Bluesman George “Mojo” Buford started blowing the harmonica in his teens, eventually linking up to tour with fellow Mississippian Muddy Waters. Adopting his nickname from ravenous crowds requesting Muddy’s “Got My Mojo Working,” Buford gained the attention of some gifted young rockers (including lead guitarist of The Trashmen!), who steered him into the studio for three smokin’ ‘69 sessions - the results of which we’re finally hearing for the first time!

FOGHAT continues to captivate fans of all ages because their music is timeless. They're still touring relentlessly and performing with an energy that keeps a youthful spirit alive, no matter how old they may be. On "SONIC MOJO," founding member and drummer Roger Earl is joined by guitarist, engineer, and co-producer Bryan Bassett (known for Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet), bassist Rodney O’Quinn (from Pat Travers Band), and on lead vocals and guitar, Scott Holt (associated with Buddy Guy).

This set includes music perfect for Halloween that isn't actually about Halloween, although everything included here is definitely scary on one level or another. Consisting of vintage jazz and blues tracks issued between 1925 and 1961, there are plenty of songs here about devils and witches, including Tampa Red's "Witchin' Hour Blues," Sippie Wallace's "Devil Dance Blues," and the Mississippi Sheiks' "I Am the Devil," among others. There's also a classic version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins doing his signature tune, "I Put a Spell on You," this one done with the Leroy Kirkland Orchestra.

BIG SENSATION MOJO’s covermount CD collects R&B nuggets from the birth of Mod. Bobby Parker, Chris Kenner, Ernie K-Doe and Rosco Gordon target the dancefloor.
