BlackTop Mojo has a lucky spot on my playlist

Continuing today's rock theme! Seriously, I wouldn't argue with these guys from Texas, they can have all my iPod space. They've been going for four years and have produced some meaty slabs of rock and roll, along with a hefty dose of fine covers - and I love a band not afraid to play someone else's tunes, check out the soulful Is This Love cover below, a new recording which is how I came across the band.

Their Open Road track is a couple of years old, but its a very clean yet chugging cut. I look forward to hearing what BlackTop Mojo do next, they've funded their next album on Pledge Music. If they ever make it out of America's south, I'd happily go see them anywhere in England!
