MIRACULOUS MULE: Old Bones, New Fire (CD)

(Juke Joint Records) 10 tracks, digisleeve

Miraculous Mule were formed rather inadvertently in late 2010, yet have regularly sent audiences into ecstasy. The band features former Dream City Film Club frontman and critically acclaimed solo artist Michael J. Sheehy, who describes Miraculous Mule as "a group of Anglo-Irish honkies into African-American gospel, prison/work songs and hillbilly music."

The Mule is a four-piece beast with no less than three lead singers, Sheehy, Alex Louise Petty and Patrick McCarthy, who also plays bass and spurs the beast along with drummer Ian Burns. Sheehy continues, "Although we are apostate Catholics, agnostics and non-believers who stumbled and fell into the depths of hell many moons ago, we sincerely believe in the power of this music and how it makes us and our audience feel." Now the Londoners announce their first album since 2017's critically acclaimed "Two Ton Testimony."

While its predecessor was a heavy, politically and socially engaged garage rock album, Old Bones, New Fire goes back to the band's origin story, indeed to the roots of rock itself. Arriving back at their love of early blues, gospel and folk, the band has made a raw, stripped back and passionate record that pays tribute to the many artists and songs that have inspired them over the years.

The album was made during the 2020 lockdown, Sheehy explains, "We had a vague plan to put on some kind of show in our hometown to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our first gig in 2010, but the pandemic had other ideas. Once again trying to free up space on an old hard drive, I found some monitor mixes of a live session we recorded during the sessions for our first album Deep Fried. Those performances still blew my mind all these years later, and we decided to record more material in a similar fashion, and make an album out of it. Once the restrictions were lifted, we got together in a room and something magical happened." The band will announce live dates very soon to coincide with the release.
