A SWAMP-NOIR REWORKING OF ROOTS, BLUES, AND OUTSIDER GEMS—OUT OCTOBER 17th 2025 ON JUKE JOINT 500
Long known for their slow-burning, smoke-hung blend of blues, jazz, and Southern Gothic storytelling, Mudlow take a sharp left turn here—offering up ten carefully chosen reinterpretations that reflect the dark undercurrents and idiosyncratic soul of their influences.
But this is no paint-by-numbers tribute. With Run Thru the Cover Crop, the band doesn’t so much cover songs as inhabit them—dragging each track down into the lowlands and dressing it in Mudlow’s signature grit and shadow.
“Some songs came to us like ghosts with their boots still on. Others, we had to drag out of the mud and give them new clothes. Every one of them earned its place.”
The album’s selections span decades and genres, but they’re unified by tone and texture: lonesome, bruised, and cinematic.
