    "Some of the best moments of his (Ashton's) career. 8/10"
    - Classic Rock Magazine (UK)
    "Ashton is right at home with this emotive, moving and bare-bones release. 8/10"- Power Play Rock and Metal (UK)

    Gwyn Ashton is back with a red hot new contemporary swamp blues, rock, folk album through Cadiz Music, London that hit the streets on May 12, 2023.

    Mojosoul celebrates his 50th anniversary of playing guitar and is Ashton’s 10th album release. 
    Ashton has previously recorded with members of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Robert Plant's and Rory Gallagher's bands and many more.

    A total gear nerd for this album he has traded in his well-worn 1963 Fender Stratocaster to play bottleneck slide on a vintage 1930 National Triolian, open-tuned Gretsch Rancher 12-string, a D28 Martin and a 1962 Harmony H-75. 

    Locked down in Adelaide, South Australia during the pandemic, Gwyn Ashton put the time to good use recording a massive 110 brand new songs and we are proud to announce the first album to come out of these sessions.

lyrics

The Perfect Day To Sing The Blues


I got a heart full of anguish, a mind full of self-destruct
My head’s in confusion, I’m a man down on his luck
I got a dark cloud above me as I walk around in worn-out shoes
The voice inside my head says it’s the perfect day to sing the blues

I got a heavy in my chest that just won’t go away
Got a heart full of sadness, a pile of dues I gotta pay
I got an aching in my bones, that I’m trying so hard to lose
The voice inside my head says it’s the perfect day to sing the blues

I got a state of paranoia, feelings that I can’t control
I got the devil’s grip inside me reaching deep into my soul
It’s ripping me to pieces; I don’t know what to do
The voice inside my head says it’s the perfect day to sing the blues
