Mighty Mo Rodgers (born July 24, 1942)[2] is an American electric blues musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, who has released eight albums to date.[1] He has been influenced by the work of Aretha Franklin, Bobby Bland, Eddie Boyd, Jimmy Reed, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, and Willie Dixon.[3]
Bonnie Raitt noted that "Mo Rodgers' music is a breath of fresh air in the blues/R&B world. He combines sly social commentary with a great funky sound. . . . I love his voice. He's a welcome original."[4]
