Taking it to the next level.On “Take Me To Your Maker” the past winners of LA Music Awards ‘Best Blues Band’ do what they do best: gritty, hard-edged, uncompromising songs that borrow from the past but add a sizeable dose of 21st century steroids.

For this new cut, Johnny Mastro has penned 12 of the fourteen tracks. The album's smart production nonetheless retains the band’s trademark live, shooting-from-the hip sound, characterized by Mastro’s voice and exemplary harmonica, with the guitarist squeezing every last drop of distortion from his old Fender amp.

The driving and relentlessly foot-tapping grooves that emanate from most of this album are countered by the bare (vocals/harp/upright bass) of Mastro’s “Demon’s Blues” and a charming version of the Jimmie Davis/Hank Williams song ‘Lonesome Whistle’ offered here as bonus track.

The Mama’s Boys played Germany, Holland, Belgium and France in 2006 where they gained ‘stars of the show’ rating at several festivals. They make their first visit to the UK in April ‘07 for seven dates including the Burnley National Blues Festival and 100 Club.

In their home state of California the band consistently plays over 200 dates a year, ranging from the small club in LA where the band was born, to major festivals. ---cdbaby.com
