The Mustangs - Speed Of Love (2013)

This is the latest CD release by The Mustangs, one of the most popular and hard-working bands on the British blues circuit, who are such regular and in-demand performers that one journalist described them as the band that no self-respecting blues festival can afford to be without. In recent times, they have also expanded their compass to include major festivals in Europe. This release from the south-east London based group is their seventh CD, the follow-up to 2011s Shaman And The Monkey, and once again comprising a dozen new original compositions, many of which have already been honed in live performances. They are no run-of-the-mill blues band rather their music is blues-inspired, comprising punchy, melodic and entertaining songs that range from soulful ballads through to rip-roaring rockers. Like their stage shows, they reflect the charismatic presence of dynamic front man and primary songwriter Adam Norsworthy, along with the distinctive harmonica of Derek Kingaby, who also contributes to the writing along with bassist Ben McKeown and drummer Jon Bartley. The album includes their forthcoming single Yours Sincerely, an atmospheric ballad which has a genuine chance of seeing them break through to the mainstream market, for which a top quality video has been shot, which will help to increase the bands profile still further. Their live work and their considerable following on the social networks will provide a platform for a wide-ranging campaign of marketing and promotion, including radio sessions.
