"Blacktop Mojo have been kicking ass for over a decade and their music catalog is insane, with a cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On" racking in over 22 million streams on Spotify alone," begins Matt Green from Southbound Sessions.

"They walk a thin genre blending line of hard rock and Texas country, and we're stoked to have featured them on the Southbound Sessions channel this week. 'Like Wild Horses' is a single from their latest album, Pollen. Big thanks to the folks at Victory Guns and Guitars in Lindale, Texas for letting us shoot at their spot."

Blacktop Mojo released their fifth studio album, Pollen, on April 5th. 

With inspirations ranging from Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bill Withers and Stone Temple Pilots. to Bob Seger and Etta James, Blacktop Mojo’s music has elements of heavy rock, grunge, soul, blues, and a little splash of southern twang.
