Title: Full-Blown Hurricane
Review: Mofro have a great sound, related to the swamp sense of Tony Joe White and the jam band sense of Allman Bros. with a splash of old Creedence Clearwater Revival. Shortly after this set was released, the band was involved in a car accident that sent Nathan Shepard (keys, sax) back to his native Australia for rehab. John Grey's wife was also seriously injured. But the music is aging well. "Nare Sugar" is one of the grittiest funk grooves. If it doesn't get your toe tapping, you'd better check to see if you have a pulse. Mofro takes their time, not rushed to compact the music into a pop formula. This allows the jams to expand and build to full-blown hurricanes. "Whitehouse" is a jewel with its soulful vocals and Shepard's keyboards. This is an excellent set that will not fade away. Enjoy!
