Bio
One giant rockin’ leap for mankind – Li’l Mo crooning on her tune-moon, boldly dismissing all gravity, her massively eclectic, don’t-fence-me-in music rocketing at us, trailing Gene Vincent vintage, Stax/Volt essence, new/old blues and unpolluted country and western music…her bell-tone voice hypnotizing everyone on the cosmic dance floor…finally down to Earth, we’re let in on Mo’s brilliant grasp of the whole formidable compendium of American music. And it’s total fun, to boot…

Retrotastic!! Awesome vocals and the writing on these tunes is super sharp and tight...it's like walking into Buddy Holly laying down tunes on a 2-track in a Texan garage in 1955. "Rockin Chair" is a bangin good floorfille...

“You find timeless Honky Tonk (I Could Get Used To This and Wayne Walker's I've Got A New Heartache), muscled hillbilly with a rockabilly hint on Bill Haley and The Saddlemen's Rockin Chair On the Moon and He's a Handful on which Monica's voice reminds me of the best sides of Rosie Flores.
She also delivers a poignant appalachian ballad (the Boy Who Loves The Blues with a nice mandolin part and a heartbreaking fiddle) and good ol' Cajun music with Dance Crazed featuring Steve Riley of the Mamou Playboys fame. Why Don't You Live With Me is a beautiful pre-war blues with dobro and cornet. Fans of rhythm'n' blues/soul will rush on Baby Be Good (with a horn section) and those who are in a 60's mood will be delighted by I'm Here Today that features an amazing organ solo. Another highlight (but which song isn't?) is I Really Love To Love You, a Spector styled pop song (still with Hank Bones in charge of the wall of sound).”
