It had passed our door almost unnoticed, but the Austrian blues band Mojo Blues Band has existed for 40 years !!! And to celebrate that memorable fact, this live recorded double album has been released.
The band was founded in 1977 by guitarist Erik Tauner. Since the band was one of the few blues bands from Vienna, she was often used as backing band of blues artists in Austria, such as Katie Webster, J.B. Hutto and Charlie Musselwhite. In 1980 the band also worked with singer Dana Gillespie.
After many line-ups, the band currently consists of the aforementioned guitarist Erik Tauner, who can also handle the harmonica quite well, and Siggi Fass (vocals, guitar), Charlie Furthner (piano), Herfried Knapp (standing bass) and drummer Didi Mattersberger.
The jubilee concert was a very nice party. The experience bursts off this band. It is a real pleasure to come across a relaxed swinging, solid blues band from Europe again.
At a party, of course, no guests may be missing! The first guest is singer Gisele Jackson, who previously sang in bands like One Way Street and Nightlife. Her very soulful voice can be heard in the classic Further On Up The Road, known by Bobby "Blue" Bland, which has a smoothly bopping performance here. She then sings in the Wynona Carr song Should I Ever Love Again, which fits perfectly with her voice.
She also takes a song from the soul / blues giant Big Maybelle. My Country Man is a nice soulful rhythm & blues song that swings lightly. Later on the album, we meet Gisele in the rocking The Pick Up with a leading role for the boogie woogie piano by Charlie Furthner and Trouble In Mind, which is also known by Bertha "Chippie" Hill. Guest number two is the American singer-guitarist John Primer, who puts an unadulterated Chicago blues sound in You Got To Pay The Price.
Call Me John Primer is then a raw Chicago blues with the yawing harmonica of Erik Tauner in the lead. The last guest is the Austrian singer Petra Toyfl, whom we already met on a solo album by Erik Tauner. She can be heard in the Ruth Brown song As Long As I'm Movin 'and the lazy shuffle Nothing In Ramblin'.
The rest of the album is for the Mojo Blues Band itself. They provide a feast of recognition through a number of well-executed covers. Like the Fats Domino song Sick And Tired, a New Orleans shuffle with hot grunting horns.
Dust My Broom by Elmore James is of course well-known and in this cover the mean slide by Erik Tauner is central. Long Distance Call is a cover of Muddy Waters. A slow Chicago blues with many guitar injections. Chuck Berry's Promised Land rocks with our Austrian friends in the best Blues Band style while Your Next Lover reminded me of Flavium's "NIght Life".
The party album is completely closed in style with the outrageously swinging Tattle Tale with pianist Charlie Furthner in the lead.
Mojo Blues Band delivers a great anniversary album full of solid, swinging blues. Hopefully this band will stick to it for quite some years! ~Peter Marinus (translated from dutch)
