We are one reviewed by Guitar One
<p>First Review Of "We Are One" by RADIO GUITAR ONE</p><p>Mojomama’s latest effort We Are One is a clear progression from their last album. The seamless blend of Rock, Blues, Soul, and uncompromising groove makes for a great listen. Self-described as “a result of our cultural realities of the past four years” the band puts it all on display this new record. The album shifts genres and styles across it's entirety, pulling from the undeniable strengths of each of it's members. It’s an album full of musical influences, woven together to produce a roller coaster ride through thirteen tracks. Great vocals, powerful guitar solos, funky bass lines, and clean pocket drumming makes me hope the band finds a well deserved large audience. </p><p>The album opens up with the title track and first single, "We Are One" which starts with a shuffle back beat and catchy slap bass line, reminiscent of Toto’s “Rosanna”. It is clear when lead singer Jessica Rogalski comes in why she has received the accolades she has, considering she has won “Favorite Female Vocalist” for 2015 and 2018 from the Colorado Blues Society.</p><p>Read the Full Review Here</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.radioguitarone.com/post/album-review-mojomama" data-link-type="url" contents="">https://www.radioguitarone.com/post/album-review-mojomama</a></p>

<p>We played our hearts out for 2 nights with 120 other bands and we made it to the Semifinals for a 3rd night which came down to 44 bands.</p>

Marquee Magazine CD Review
<p>Mojomama has always been heavy on the funk side of things, but for their newest album, the Longmont-based group seems much more directed at a Tedeschi-Trucks flavor. Mojomama has had that soul and rock combination in their sound, and the group actually covers Tedeschi live, but on this latest release that influence is much more evident.</p>
<p>The group certainly hasn’t shelved their funky repertoire, they’ve just added more to it. Still front and center are the sultry lead vocals of Jessica Rogalski, which have always been the cornerstone of Mojomama’s sound. Rogaliski’s husband Paul bounces basslines throughout the 11-track disc, while guitarist Bob Murnahan throws down technical and superbly executed guitar solos.</p>

New CD Review
<div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Mojomama</strong></span></div>
<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">"<em>Mojomama</em>"</span></strong></div>
<div align="center"><span><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">By Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro © September 2016</span></strong></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></strong></span> </div>
<div align="center"> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">"<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mojomama</span></em>", the CD, is the third and self titled release from Mojomama, the band. In 2015, the CD was presented the prestigious "Best Self Produced CD" award by the Colorado Blues Society. The disc contains eleven all original tracks with a mix of songs influenced by blues, funk, rock and reggae. </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">Mojomama consists of Jessica Rogalski on vocals, husband Paul Rogalski on bass, Bob Murnahan on guitars and Paul Christiansen on drums. </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;">Additionally, </span></span><span><span style="font-size: large;">three very special guests on the project include Janiva Magness on vocals, Anne Harris on violin and Tim Davis on keys.</span></span>
</div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">Musically, <em>"<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Eternity</span>" </em>is a most interesting track. Adding Ann Harris' skillful violin playing to the very cool reggae vibe the rhythm section has going on, makes the song take on quite a captivating sound. For lack of a better word I guess exotic might be the best way to describe this one. </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">Before you're halfway through "<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tell It Like it Is</span></em>" you'll be singing along with the chorus line as I'm doing right now....."You've got to tell it, tell it like it is".....</span></span></div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">This one's a fun, catchy, pop style, top 40, sing-a-long that's all Jessica. It's easy to tell that she's having as great a time singing the lead and three part harmony vocals as I'm having listening to and singing along with her. Good stuff. </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">"<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Be A Legend</span></em>" is a song about creating the legacy you'll one day leave behind. Not only does it make reference to many musical legends but it includes one singing on it as well. Just as Jessica starts singing about some legendary blues artists, the legendary Janiva Magness joins in and the powerful duo - who each make several switches from lead to backup - turn the song into a vocal smoker. Although the ladies stole the show on this one, the band's doing a heck of a job driving them on.</span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">"<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Liberation</span>" rocks. The Pauls - that's Paul R. on the bass and Paul C. on the drums - are fueling the pace with some fiercely funky rhythm; Bob's goin' off on some smokin' guitar riffs and Jessica's in the thick of it all with some killer lead and back up vocals. Great one for dancing. </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">The disc closes with "<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Night After Night</span></em>" and when you do slow blues this good, and you do it for seven minutes, you know you've made me a very happy listener. Not only is it the disc's best song but Jessica and Bob are at disc's best on it as well. From her very soft moans and murmurs to the very gruff and powerful crescendos - and everything in between - Jessica's intensely emotional and soulful vocals are absolutely flawless. Talk about belting out the blues, <em>Whoa</em>! Then there's the two and a half minute guitar solo that had me shaking my head in awe. Bob did on his guitar everything that Jess did with her voice. From his slow and very soft notes and chords to his blistering blues guitar licks and back, the man is absolutely masterful. Of course, keeping it all together behind them, Paul R., Paul C. and Tim have the perfect rhythm groove going on. Monster track! </span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span> </div>
<div align="left"><span><span style="font-size: large;">Other tracks on "<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mojomama</span></em>" include: <em>"<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lying In The Dark</span>", "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dig Deeper</span>", "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fool For Your Love</span>", "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forbidden Love</span>", "<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Complicated Melody</span>"</em> and <em>"<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Love Hangover</span>".</em></span></span></div>

Cd Review from the Netherlands
<p><span>Mojomama is a band that is already popular in Colorado.</span></p>
<p><span>After listening to the album I understand why.</span></p>
<p><span>Mojomama makes music that is reminiscent of the music of</span></p>
<p><span><span>Susan Tedeschi but sometimes also reminds of Aretha Franklin. </span><span>The music is perhaps best described as a combination of Rock, Funk and Soul. </span><span>The good thing is that </span></span></p>
<p><span>it sounds like its own and the band has its own sound.</span></p>

Susan Tedeschi Invites Jessica to Sing
<p>Labor day Weekend 9/6/2009 Paul and Jessica went to Snowy Range Music Festival in Laramie Wyoming. Tons of great bands and Paul's old friend from Massachusetts, Susan Tedeschi. We get a chance to hangout and with Susan and she invites Jess to come up and sing Angel from Montgomery. We feel blessed and very thankful for such an amazing opportunity.</p>
