notes
LGM's latest album, "Cradle to the Grave" has been released worldwide. The title track single from the album is now receiving airplay on the Walmart Worldwide Radio Network, Indie Artist Radio and and is available at all digital download sites. It has been released to XM and Sirius Satellite Radio Networks. German, French and Polish music stores are carrying the new album, and it is also been released to over 100 radio markets nationally, along with all the major music publications.
The album was mixed by recording engineer, Jeff Brocaw, whose credits include 34 gold and platinum albums (Robert Cray, BB King). Jeff has also been nominated three times for Grammy awards. Mastering was performed by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC. This year alone, Sterling Sound was nominated for a total of sixty-three Grammy Awards. As Greg Calbi put it, this album has "captured the Gov't Mule/Allman Brothers sound".
Liquid Groove Mojo is: Joe Pitts, Darrell Davis, Al Hagood and Brian Blankenship. These four musicians have a unique ability to come together and play as tight as a three piece power trio and turn right around and jam with improvisational guitar solos reminiscent of the legendary guitarists that have inspired them. Pitts and Davis has a strong musical background with having played over 600 shows together. Pitts has studied music at Berklee College of Music and Davis has studied music at the University of Arkansas. The rhythm section is nothing short of phenomenal. Hagood and Blankenship are a well oiled machine with a huge low end and a powerful drum groove that is considered to be one of the best rhythm sections around. Monsterous guitar tones, soaring slide guitar work, and soulful vocals round out this quartet's musical abilities. Prolific songwriting makes this bands' sound timeless as well as contemporary.
"Cradle to the Grave", was written mostly by Pitts and Davis, either individually, or as a writing team. Also, included on the album, is a song by Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule/Allman Brothers), and a song by the legendary Kinsey Report. It was recorded at Lonesome Oak Studio, in Arkansas, over a 6 month period.
The band also has an ever dynamic website at www.liquidgroovemojo.com or www.myspace.com/liquidgroovemojo.

Geiler Sound, geile Musik. Werde mir noch mehr von Liquid Groove Mojo hohlen.
Amazingly mix of southern rock & blues!
author: Mike CroninA combination of a softer Gov't Mule-Allman Brothers and "New" Skynyrd this is an incredibly good southern rock/blues CD!...I'm a big purchaser @ CD Baby and this is one of the best CD's to come along in a long time...I'm surprised I hadn't heard of these guys until now...
Great music!
author: Steve WoodThis CD is a good one to listen to and feel a good vibe. I really enjoyed it.
Ass kickin' and foot stompin'!!
author: Wen (The Netherlands)If you like something between Gov't Mule, Allmans, Arc Angels check this out!! This is great!! I was there to see them live during the 2006 European Tour; really awesome. Great ass kickin' and foot stompin' blues, soul and jam rock!! I can't wait to listen to their new studio effort which will be released in 2007!!

author: patrick atkinsonlistening to a live preformance or one on a cd all of joes crew do excellant art.Music on the blues side to arkansas good o'le rock n roll nobody preforms better.
great music, good grooves
author: mikeI enjoy this CD and keep it in my truck for the ride home each day. It like a good mind massage.
WOW.
author: Amy J.I love Blues and Southern Rock anyway, so these guys were music to my ears (pun definitely intended)! If you are in the mood for mellow or rough vocals, you have your pick of the 2 guys singing. Both are awesome and very soulful. The rhythm section is so tight I'm wondering if the drummer and bass player are Siamese twins.... The guitars are way expressive -- there is so much emotion in every note. It's easy to tell that each band member has worked hard with the musical gifts that they have been given, and they do it well together. My 2-yr-old even loves this CD! Her favorite song is "Long Walk", and if we are riding in the car she will throw a fit if I don't rewind it 100 times for her to listen to it "ONE MORE TIME, MAMA"! :> Great writing, great music, great playing -- can't wait to hear MORE!
Great Music!
author: VickieI wasn't sure if I would like this, but I bought the CD and I really LOVE IT! Hello Goodbye is my favorite, but I like every song on this CD & that doesn't happen often.
Great blues rockin' jams
author: CarltonGreat blues rock tunes from this band. They should get alot of response from this album, and should be right up there with Drive By Truckers and Tishamingo. These guys are absolutely one of the saving grace bands to blues rock jam bands. Highly recommended and can't wait for more from this band!
like the cd
author: phillipvery good cd, really enjoyed it
These guys kick BUTT!
author: JessieThese musicians crank out totally phenomenal tracks - melding Southern Rock, jam, & funk-laden blues, and pull it off with every note. The killer rhythm duo; perfect slide guitar; and the awesomely rough, tough, and velvety vocals of one member (tracks 1, 3, 7, & 8) are just some of the many things that make this CD one that you cannot stop listening to! Hope to hear more from these guys!!
