Description:

Mungo Jerry Cool Jesus
Released: August 2011
Label: Raw Sound

Between Woodstock and punk, there was an awakening of interest in skiffle, most conspicuously in Germany — as exemplified by TONY SHERIDAN presenting three hours of the stuff every week on Radio Hamburg, and a best selling L.P by LONNIE DONEGAN with the country’s own LEINMANN SKIFFLE GROUP. However, a bigger attraction than even DONEGAN — who’d ruled the movement during its 1950s prime — was MUNGO JERRY after 1970’s anthemic 'IN THE SUMMERTIME' began a run of international hits that lasted most of the decade. Glance at any of MUNGO JERRY’s publicity photographs from that period, and the face to which you’re drawn most immediately is that of singing composer RAY DORSET, one of the most charismatic figures to leap from the screen of Top Of The Pops, Beat Club and any other of Europe’s principal pop television series then.
Furthermore, as Ray himself confesses in the vocal version of 'GIVE US A SONG' on this latest project, “I’m the one that leads the band”. By the same token, Dorset’s stylistic consistency has infused MUNGO JERRY with a built-in originality in the teeth of each change of image and format, and every musical idiom either explored for the first time — or, in the case of 'COOL JESUS', re-investigated. While longtime MUNGO JERRY purists would approve of the kazoo, washboard, harmonica and what JOHN MAYALL would call ‘mouth percussion’ — not to mention backing by the cream of the Fatherland’s skiffle specialists — Dorset isn’t so bound by lodged conventions that he can’t deviate from rent-party precedent. Indeed, his use of amplification and electric keyboards only enhances the overall effect on a passionate exercise in modern skiffle that combines a lean, abandoned approach with inherent respect for both the form and its elder statesmen.
Witness the overhaul of 'HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS' that owes far, far more to DONEGAN than LAURIE LONDON’s 1957 million-seller; a near-definitive revival of steel-drivin’ 'JOHN HENRY' — and, perhaps as inevitable as Valentino’s recording of Kashmiri Song, a Dorset treatment of CHARLES'COW COW' DAVENPORT’s 'MAMA DON'T ALLOW' barrelhouse standard. Of the fifteen originals, 'LET'S ROCK' could have been lifted by time machine from an ELVIS PRESLEY session at Sun — and 'GOING UP THE RIVER' and 'I WANNA LIVE IN THE SUN' hark back to the raggedly carefree 'IN THE SUMMERTIME' — though the joyous verve has a brake applied when more sombre topics are addressed in such as 'I LIE AWAKE' (A Song For Jesus), 'PRAYING SO HARD' and the driving title track of a startling album that may stand as an artistic apotheosis were it not for the promise of surprises yet to come.
