The Mojo Stars
Formed three years ago, The Mojo Stars have wasted no time in establishing themselves as force to be reckoned with. With roots in the blues/soul R&B and funk, this multi-talanted band has been collecting a large following by playing everywhere from closing night at two years worth of Vancouver Jazzfest to local award shows and casinos. With some serious songwriting from group leaders Randy Clarke and Mark Rankin, The Mojo's sound is steeped in old school, new school and everything in between.
Their 2009 debut CD, Devil's Advocate has been garnering great reviews and receiving extensive radio play in Canada, America and Europe.
Review
I give this CD, my highest rating, Five *****
Excellent CD... Thoroughly enjoyed it... Highly Recommended...Honorable Mention - Blues Underground Network's Year End Review 2009
"With a voice as clear as a Rocky Mountain stream and as strong as a gale force wind, Randy Clarke has no problem at all getting his message concerning the blues, across to his audience. With guitar extraordinaire Mark Rankin by his side, this team makes up one of the most mesmerizing blues aficionado's, the Canadian West Coast Music Scene has seen in a while, and to prove that point they put out a non-stop Bluesfest of an album titled, The Mojo Stars "Devil's Advocate"...."Devil's Advocate" consists of 10 Tracks, all originals, which were all audience favorites before recording them and which quickly became my favorites after listening to the Album."
