You Don’t Have to Be in the Army

Mungo Jerry

Foot-stomping skiffle and raw jug-band blues. A dusty, sun-drenched collection of acoustic rock that feels like a permanent backyard party in 1971.

It's the ultimate back-porch stomp session that makes you want to quit your job and buy a van.

A boisterous and sun-drenched celebration of acoustic grit and carefree rhythm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, foot-stomping percussion on 'Keep Your Hands Off Her' that feels like a live pub performance.
Ray Dorset's particularly gritty, soulful delivery on the traditional 'There’s a Man Going Round Taking Names'.
The breezy, melodic shift into 'On a Sunday' that captures a rare moment of quiet reflection amidst the boogie.
