Album Review: Blacktop Mojo's Self-Titled

Justin Spartacus

The gentlemen from Palestine, Texas, Blacktop Mojo, are back! And they are here to preach the good faith of rock ’n’ roll in their self-titled fourth studio album.

From 2014 to 2021, Blacktop Mojo have been traveling the world carrying southern rock right on their back. Even though their sound and style have been consistent, they have evolved as rock musicians as well and fully demonstrate this on their latest studio album 

For album 4, it kicks off groovy and hard hitting with their second single release “Wicked Woman”. The opening chant and riff to this song sets a precedence for the album as you’re taken on a ride. 

Songs such as “Bed Tundy”, “Do It For The Money” and “Wicked Woman” are hard rock bangers with some of the best riffs they’ve put down, while others such as “ Latex”, “Jealously” and “Hold Me Down” are their rock ballads featuring absolutely amazing solos from guitarists Chuck Wepfer & Ryan Kiefer

Back in July, lead singer Matt James and I had an awesome interview discussing this album and other things such as Whattaburger VS In-N-Out. (Watch it below)

With creative lyrics & themes, great breakdowns, and shredding solos, Blacktop Mojo have grown into their shit-kickers, and even put on some blue suede shoes to match Matt James blue leopard pants. For their fourth self titled album, Blacktop Mojo show fans a raw artistic form with some rock ’n’ roll hits, two stepping jams, and good ol’ fashioned blues making album 4 a stand out for 2021.
