I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Watch Your Step!, from Mojo Minefield, and it's a cool blues based rocker. Opening with title track, Watch Your Step, Tyler Fry on lead guitar and vocal set the pace with a tight drum rhythm by Ethan Meters, Scott Carere on bass, and organ work by Nick Royal McNeil. Fry cuts loose with some real solid soloing using fuzz and overdrive giving it a real edge. Livin' Ain't That Hard is a strong blues rocker with a great drum rhythm and solid vocal harmonies under Fry's lead vocal and matched with guitar lead with real attitude. Love this track. Change The World is another favorite with a heavy bottom. It got a great call and response with Fry singing the melody and then the trio coming back with a power response (think a more refined War Pigs with super harmonies and fluid bluesy guitar lead). Another strong track. Forget You Blues is a deeply rooted blues rocker nodding to Muddy but with real rock edge. Fry's vocal are super and the trio really brings this bad boy home. Wrapping the release is funky blues rocker, Ain't One To Gamble with great amp saturation and plenty of real swagger. These guys really get it (and deliver).
