Release: Lone Star Mojo - Rough Around The Edges

Lone Star Mojo - Rough Around  The Edges They were the OG road warriors of the blues scene around  Wichita Falls, Texas, five guys who each had half a century of touring and playing under his belt, all of whom had worked together off and on in various combinations going  back to 1985. Then Covid hit. Work dried up. Joe Splawn, a Hammond B3 player with 57 years of stage time called the other four.

 There wasn’t anything else going on, did the others want to get together and make an album? They did, and each of the fledgling band’s four songwriters brought their best material. The result is “Rough Around the Edges,” a hard-driving blues-rocker in the Texas tradition of ZZ Top, with a little Frank Zappa and B.B. King thrown in.
