"Mama" Laura Mae Gross, Hound Dog Taylor, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Sam & Jane, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, William Clarke & Lester "the man"Butler.
If you have enough guts and vision, you can draw a line in the sand and declare your path. Mama's Boys is Johnny Mastro's vision of how blues should be played. Honest, original, raw, get-down music void of today's common cliche's and posing. Johnny says "This is not the lazy respectful whitebread blues!". Think Hound Dog Taylor crossed with Butterfield Blues Band. Hard blues you can only get with keeping one foot firmly planted in the past while moving into the future.
Coming out of Los Angeles oldest Blues Club Babe'e & Ricky's Inn since 1993, the band tours internationally and signed to Nugene Records.

I had my marketing cap on about a week ago and with all the bad news; the Taliban in Pakistan, the looming Chyrsler bankruptcy, the new flu epidemic, etc; I decided to go with a more optimistic theme for this summer in a bumper sticker (old school). I think its working. There are currently a little more than 50 cars in the Branson area sporting this lil’ beauty. (Yes, I comped them) What do you think?
"Awesome" Music! Love your New Track "Love Train" Your Music,Vocals and Lyrics are Fantastic, Wonderful beat and Sound also. "Hope Your Weekend is a Blast" peace,love&happiness to you(:
