MP3 The Mojave Collective - Rust & Dust
From beautiful acoustic country-tinged ballads with lush 3 and 4-part harmonies to barnstorming, freewheeling rock ‘n’ roll, the Mojave Collective absorb, roll, smoke and then stomp on the doobie of all that is great in the Anglo-American tradition.

Details:
Packing 21 grams of Parsons and a dusting of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Mark, Tom, Chris, Jaymie, James and "Squeaky" Pete come strolling into town like the Fabulous Furry Funk Brothers to preach the holy gospel of country, rock and acoustic beauty.
The Mojave Collective, six young men from the Deep South (of Liverpool), play American roots music with a British Pop sensibility and a haphazard sense of style which has seen them hailed as ''crap'' (Woman''s Own), ''indifferent'' (Gramophone) and ''pretty damn good actually'' (NME). Now working the release of their debut LP, "Rust&Dust" (Mayfield Label)
From beautiful acoustic country-tinged ballads with lush 3 and 4-part harmonies to barnstorming, freewheeling rock ‘n’ roll, the Mojave Collective absorb, roll, smoke and then stomp on the doobie of all that is great in the Anglo-American tradition, playing like the Small Faces had spent time hanging out with The Band and The Stones in California in 1968 (which they may well have done – this band have never been overly fussed by little things like details when there’s rock and good lovin’ to be had).
With a line-up featuring guitars, pedal steel, piano, trumpet, samplers, banjo, harmonica, each member of the band is often heard comparing himself to a virtuoso player with whom he has no similarity whatsoever.
Thoroughly prepared to bribe, sleep and drink their way to the top of the shag pile, this is one band who know that there’s a real difference between irony and ironing, but they’re just too damn busy making good music to care what it is.
The Mojave Collective are currently busy doing what they are always busy doing; writing, playing, rehearsing, recording and thoroughly enjoying themselves in the manner of the fine upstanding gents their grandmothers of invention know them to be.
