The Mustangs - Just Passing Through (2017/2020)

This is the latest offering from British blues-rock band The Mustangs, their eleventh album in their fifteen-year career together as a working band. This album sees them developing their musical range yet further as it pursues the concept of a metaphorical train journey through love, life, faith and mortality. The album has already gathered pre-release reviews from respected blues-rock web sites, with Firebrand Radio calling it an eclectic masterpiece and Ross Muir at Fabrications HQ describing it as conceptual, intelligent blues with a real warmth. For those familiar with the Mustangs, this will only enhance their appreciation of the band, while the many musical surprises of this set will attract new fans. The band, as ever, will be continuing their touring activities, taking in the customary round of festivals during the summer, their profile enhanced by the recently-announced appointment of their drummer Jon Bartley to the post of joint leader of the Green Party. Further post-release reviews and airplay are likely to garner yet more critical acclaim
