Driving to New Orleans

Watching competing cloud clusters and shifting wind currents in fickle gulf streams - watching the crescent earth heal itself of storms it self-inflicts - I ride in under it all like the ant that I am - scurrying for my own crumb to carry back to colonies to which I am obligated - groaning, grieving and growing - deep sigh - like these clouds - a covering.

First Review of Orphans and Kings

Here is a short review of Mo’s newest CD which is available for download at http://www.justiceroad.com/.
“The soul, struggle and hope on this record is truly astonishing. Mo’s been making good music for a long time, but this is by far his finest work yet. It is a disturbing and inspiring bit of Americana, with musical and lyrical stains from the waters of New Orleans and vocals as rich and guttural as anything I’ve heard this year. If Nick Cave, John Hiatt, Pierce Pettis and Mark Heard had spent the last seventeen years serving the poor in the deep south I can’t imagine them coming up with a batch of songs any better than these.” John J. Thompson, Gyroscope Arts
