Taking it to the next level.On âTake Me To Your Makerâ the past winners of LA Music Awards âBest Blues Bandâ 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 bandâs trademark live, shooting-from-the hip sound, characterized by Mastroâs voice and exemplary harmonica, with guitarist Dave Melton 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 Mastroâs âDemonâs Bluesâ and a charming version of the Jimmie Davis/Hank Williams song âLonesome Whistleâ offered here as bonus track.

The Mamaâs Boys played Germany, Holland, Belgium and France in 2006 where they gained âstars of the showâ rating at several festivals. They make their first visit to the UK in April â07 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.
