MOJO MAGAZINE APRIL  (Mar 04 2008)       

Next month's MOJO magazine comes with a free CD - "The New Dictionary of Blues and Soul," a 'hand-picked collection of modern day grit 'n' grooves' featuring tracks by The Sugarman Three, Sharon Jones, James Hunter, Eli Reed, Watermelon Slim, and... The New Mastersounds. Here's what Mojo's editor has to say about how he made the selection: "While every artist represented here is unique, all of them share a love of roots music that reverberates through their own performances." Precisely!

Daptone Doppelgangers  (Feb 20 2008)       

Interesting feature on the excellent All Music blog. Now that elements of the classic funk/soul sound are showing up again on mainstream records, journalists are starting to connect the dots. It's a shame Top of the Pops was axed from BBC1 - they'd surely have had us on there miming to One Note Brown.

Ten Years On

"From the opening speed jam "San Frantico" to the closing toe-tapper "Make Me Proud," British funk exports The New Mastersounds shine on Ten Years On. Grace Potter sits in on a nice reworking of her bluesy "Nothing But the Water" (shades of "Cold Blood") and Skerik adds horns on "Ooom." While guitarist Eddie Roberts deftly shifts between chicken-scratch funk and Wes Montgomery flourishes ("The Road to Fuji"), Joe Tatton alternates from sparkly Rhodes to soul-drenched organ ("Make Me Proud"), never missing a beat. The group even pulls off the dance-themed "Cielo and Ooom." The New Mastersounds are a revelation. - Steve Bloom"
