Though it’s not what one would typically expect from the artist responsible for initiating the band Black Flag, Greg Ginn’s latest release with his funk rock band Mojack, is full of twists, turns and time changes.
In true Ginn fashion, you never get what you think you know. Just as you loosen up to the sound and get comfortable, it changes—in and instant, and without warning. At first it might not make any sense, this cacophony of instrumentation, but as you put your ear to the test, you begin to see the picture emerge.
Ten years in the waiting, Under the Willow Tree picks up where Home Brew left it hangin’. In addition to Ginn on Guitar and Bass, it features Tony Atherton on Sax and Mike Lopez on Drums and Percussion. Atherton’s sporadic bursts add an edge of chaos to the groove oriented guitar rhythm and syncopated drums.

Thanks for the add, Mo. Great sound. I especially enjoyed "Bridge to Somewhere". Highly original and thought provoking. You have a unique way with the arrangements in your songs - imaginative and creative in their subtlety, complexity and substance.
It's great to hear from you again, Greg, and the band sounds fantastic! It's highly inventive and uniquely your own -- every track was out of this world. Hopefully, we'll get the chance to play together someday.
