Stuck Mojo - The Great Revival

Seemingly hot on the heels of Southern Born Killers, Stuck Mojo's first album with new front-man Lord Nelson, comes another Andy Sneap-produced effort on Napalm Records, a deal they only signed last year which initially brought the European commercial release of 2006 album…
