I got my mojo working baby! Great blues/jazz and the live feel elevated this for sure.
Buck Owens
2/5
I would give it a 2.5 if I could but it gets a 2. It was catchy and poppy as well as twangy.
Jeff Buckley
5/5
Come for hallelujah but stay for his amazing voice. Mojo pin starts like what I think would be playing when I walked into heaven then just unloads with the guitars and drums! Great songs and just the voice of an angel
