Blacktop Mojo Cover Aerosmith's 'Dream On'
Time for a cover! Modern Southern Hard Rock Band Blacktop Mojo covered Aerosmith's classic hit Dream On and it sounds amazing. That guitar work is gorgeous and they did well with that high note scream! The video was filmed by Nolan Cox of Nolan Taylor Media in Palestine, TX at Audioworx Studio. The track, which was produced by Philip Mosley and mixed by Austin Deptula at Rosewood Studios, comes from the band's upcoming sophomore album, Burn The Ships, which is set to release in early 2017. Blacktop Mojo's Nathan Gillis said:
A close friend of ours suggested we do it, and was adamant that he knew it would turn out great... We asked our producer what he thought and he basically said "Well it wouldn't hurt to try it out". After that we learned it, went to the studio and put it down. Listening back we were pretty surprised that it even came out decent... We showed it to a small group of friends and they all said they got chill bumps. At that point we were comfortable enough that we at least hadn't shamed the song or Aerosmith (who we have a ton of respect for, obviously), so still with a little hesitation we released it. Since then, we've been shocked and overwhelmed by the awesome response.
