Touch the Sky

Mungo Jerry

A sun-baked collection of acoustic blues and skiffle-rock. Ray Dorset's gravelly vocals anchor a record that feels like a warm breeze on a dusty country road.

It's like a sun-drenched road trip through the blues with a guy who's seen it all.

A weathered but joyful celebration of staying true to one's roots through the passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the harmonica pierces through the acoustic strumming on the title track, sounding like a distant train whistle.
The extended, loose-limbed groove of I'll Be a Hippy 'Till I Die that feels more like a communal jam than a studio recording.
The transition into the live version of Black Girl where the room's energy shifts the album's gravity toward raw blues.
