Salt of the Earth by Mobetta Loretta

The debut release of "Salt of the Earth" by Mobetta Loretta is scheduled to be released on September 26, 2009. It is now delayed a few weeks due to album artwork.

The album features special contributions from various artists on the album including: Geno (keyboards) from the former band the Boxkutters; Mia Mercado (background vocals) also known as BlueBird; the fantastic duo, Sal & Isela will feature their original "Mexican-American" style sound (background vocals); and the talented acoustic stylings of David Robinson (classical, flamenco guitar).

About the Mobetta Loretta Band

The five piece band includes, Mobetta Loretta (vocals, guitar); Raul "Tubbs" Salazar (drums); Kenn "kLutz" Lutz (bass guitar); Professor Steve (harmonica); and Guy James (guitar). The band debuted their official, first live performance together as a band on January 30, 2009. The newly formed Mobetta Loretta Band sounds like it originated straight from the Delta blues mixed with classical rock influences such as Tom Petty, ELO, and George Harrison -- forming a southern-style rock band, rich with Americana blends.

"There was an immediate chemistry between our musical styles," says Mobetta Loretta. "We fused influences from Rock together with Folk and Blues to create our own unique sound. (The music) still has the Mo' Betta blues flavor."

New Album

The Mobetta Loretta Band has been working diligently at creating their debut album entitled, "Salt of the Earth" scheduled to be released by the end of the summer--now delayed a few weeks due to album artwork. The album will feature eleven songs rich with diverse blues, folk and rock influences. There are plenty of hooks and infectious choruses which should support a strong radio air-play presence.
