The cover art on Mojo Stu’s new CD pictures his National Reso-Phonic, an instrument that’s always as easy on the eyes as it is on the ears.

The Philadelphia singer / songwriter is known locally for not only his blues, but for his involvement in childrens’ causes. He conceived and co-hosted the Blues Expression radio program on WPEB-FM and performs regularly on Jammin’ In The Kitchen, a Philly TV show.

Real House Blues offers nine fine blues pieces penned by Mojo Stu and Mitch Goldfarb. Smitten by a James Cotton Blues Band performance at a rock festival in the 70s, he pursued a career in the blues. Having shared the stage with the likes of Maria Muldaur, Johnny Winter, Leon Russell and Robert Cray, Mojo Stu is on his way. The bluesman has a fine voice and is a most capable guitarist. Real House Blues is his third CD for Mudbone Records.

This writer especially liked Got A Love, My Mama She Don’t Love Me and a gem titled Don’t Worry. Proceeds from the sale of the CD will benefit the Peace, Love and Sunshine Foundation. You can checkout sound samples at the artist’s website.
