Age Sex Occupation = Mofro+ G. Love & Special Sauce + a hint of Bon
This Side of the Fence is a bluesy, soulful collection of ditties, hinting at musical inspiration from times gone by. Some of the more upbeat tracks, like “Zombie,” break it up and add a little pop and variety into the overall vintage-y feeling and genre-specific offering, and in turn, gives it the fresh spin needed to separate it from the predecessors who clearly influence these musicians’ work. It is a lovely album, easy to listen to all the way through. One of my favorites, “Lullaby,” is one of those songs that tickles your brain just right, so that you think it’s a cover—something you’ve been listening to and loving your whole life. Job well done, I say, and let’s have some more. –Ischa B.
