MohaviSoul (from the album Stories and Memories available as a self-release)
Like the Southwest sand the players nod to in the group moniker, MohaviSoul spin hard-worn songs. Dusty and driven by rhythm, the harmonies and picking of MohaviSoul provide warmth and weight to the tracks running across Stories and Memories, the latest release from the San Diego-based band. West Coast Bluegrass married to soulful vocals is the theme of the album. A line of notes walks quietly into the opening of Stories and Memories on “The Righteous Path”. “Bluegrass Breakdown” sings an audio snapshot of touring troubles while “This Old House” slows the groove to a sway as “Lonesome Evening Blues” shuffles its feet to a sad song and “Self-Imposed Highs and Lows” tackles hangovers with experiential advice sitting behind the wheel of a runaway rhythm. Redemption through reconciliation writes the storyline in “Fourteen Days” while MohaviSoul hold tight to the promises of love in “Won’t Bring You Down” and drifts on light desert breezes to hear the tale of a wandering soul in “Nomad’s Blues”. Formed in 2012, MohaviSoul are the gatekeepers for mountain music kicking up sand when Stories and Memories seeks direction with “Sinners and Saints”, picking up the beat to head down “Two Roads” as they stack up Mark Twain tall tales to form a frame for “Make It Up”.
