Andy De Rosa & Electric Mojo is an original UK-based and hard-working Southern Rock/Blues/Roots/Jam Band + covers band evolved from Andy De Rosa’s own solo acoustic material from his first album “WATCHING THE HANDS OF TIME” (© 2007 Mojo Records UK Ltd.).
Andy has recruited fellow musicians Marc Helliwell (bass guitar) and Neal Thomson (drums) to record and perform live new and existing material on their upcoming album “UNSCATHED” (© 2009 Mojo Records UK Ltd.). This eclectic mixture of southern rock/ rock ‘n roll/ blues/ funk/ countryrock/ roots material encompasses the band’s true influences (The Rolling Stones/ The Beatles/ The Black Crowes/ The Faces/ Rod Stewart/ The Allman Brothers/ Little Feat & Lowell George/ Neil Young/ Bob Dylan/ John Mayer and countless more). The band has a true live feel and a jamming blessing that reflects our true background influences to the full. A real organic mix of beautiful and elaborate music that spans back four decades...
Andy's solo material has been reviewed by Jase Randell in the following review:
Andy De Rosa - Watching The Hands Of Time (review by Jase Randell)
Andy De Rosa... the name may not mean anything to some people but very soon he (and his band, Electric Mojo) will be on everyone's lips.
This is Andy's solo album, stripped down southern blues with the "Andy De Rosa" touch, it kicks off with "Not Ready To Change", a great album starter and fantastic intro to the talents of Andy, this takes me back to a dreamy scape and great grass roots with the adage of harmonica thrown in to accompany the acoustic guitar! Track 2, "The Lude Trip" has hints of The Faces and The Stones, and more up-tempo than the first track. "Living On The Road" is next along and really just says it all, a great up-tempo song and great harmonica playing from the main man, Andy seems to be really enjoying himself on this song, you can almost sense him laughing along as he wrote this song. Track 4, "A Cry For Peace" to me starts of very Bowie-esque but turns into a song all of its own, this is my stand-out track so far....more diverse than previous tracks and it feels like Andy is stepping up a gear...fantastic! Just when you think it doesn't get any better "Lonely Time" is just a beautiful song, great lyrics, Andy's take of love and loss is amazingly accurate and will speak to many folks out there who are going through similar experiences. Track 6 is a song called "Forgotten"....very much in the vain of Dylan, both in terms of lyrics and music, staggering....listen to the great harmonica playing, it doesn't get better than this. "The World Through A Glass" is really the hardest song for me to review, simply cause of it being epic in nature! Really beautiful lyrics. Just as you get your breath back from that song along comes "Love Beyond Fall"...which starts off pretty slowly but then mid-way through comes into a song all of its own! Another faultless southern blues song. Onto the last song, well...give or take an instrumental is another great song from Andy...."Wishing" is a great choice in album song closers, really mellow in nature, a great love song, it leaves you with the urge to want more from this great artist. Album closer is called "Interlude" a nice instrumental with great slide guitar and nice lead work thrown in for good measure.
Overall a great debut solo album and a nice taster for what's to come from Andy and his band, Electric Mojo....a full on electric album, which sees the light of day in 2009. Highly recommended.
