King Mud - Victory Motel Sessions - Music CD

King Mud - VICTORY MOTEL SESSIONS - Alive Recorda - Los Angeles isn't exactly a hotbed for blues rock - most would suggest journeying south for that - however, that didn't keep King Mud from pulling together a record that sounds as though it was born deep in the Mississippi Delta. The band, which is comprised of Freddy J IV from Left Lane Cruiser and Van Campbell from the Black Diamond Heavies, holed themselves up in a seemingly most un-LA spot last spring. "The landscape for the album was an eerily quiet Burbank strip of road that contained the recording studio, a liquor store, a Cuban cafe and the Victory Motel that seemed out of place, like it was from another time."
