Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise
Big Mo Recording recorded for film producer Robert Mugge on the
Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise throughout the Carribean.
Engineers Greg Hartman, Dean West, and Mark Williams learned to
contend with ship’s power (no ground!), salty air, and of course
lots of wave action while tracking the Fabulous Thunderbirds,
Buckwheat Zydeco, Tommy Castro, Taj Mahal, Bobby Rush, Deanna
Bogart, and many other legendary artists. Robert Mugge, of
Mugshot Productions, has a long list of music film credits and has
often worked with Big Mo Recording including the notable films
"Blues Divas", "Last of the Mississippi Jukes" and "Hellhounds On
My Trail".
