The Mojo Gurus do not pretend to offer the genre anything new; they clearly wear their music on their sleeves. The Mojo Gurus combine southern rock (Marshall Tucker /Outlaws/Allmans), old school country (Steve Earle), rhythm & blues (Doobies before they found Mike MacDonald) and a touch of country soul. In 1999 the MGs released their debut which was critically received, this was quickly followed by 'Drinkin' TNT' and 'Smokin' Dynamite' which with their powerhouse live performances enabled them to build a solid following. Several other releases followed which included 'Shakin' the Barn' which was produced by Grammy Award winning producer Jack Douglas.
