'Gettin' by on Gettin' Down' is the follow up to Sam Morrow's career-defining third record 'Concrete and Mud', a staple of Americana radio on both sides of the Atlantic, with outlets like Rolling Stone and NPR singing the album's praises. 'Gettin' By on Gettin' Down' is a modern album that revisits and reshapes the primordial sounds of hip-shaking rock & roll. These nine songs are rooted in grease, grit, and groove, from the swampy soul of "Round 'N Round" to the funky syncopation of "Rosarita" to the hook-laden rock of "Money Ain't a Thing". There is hardly an acoustic guitar in sight; instead, amplifiers and guitar pedals rule the roost, with everything driven forward by percussive rhythms that as much to R&B as country music. Written and recorded in the wake of Concrete & Mud's acclaimed tour, 'Gettin' By on Gettin' Down' doubles down on the electrified fire and fury of Sam Morrow's live shows, with a road-ready band joining him on every song.

Spriguns Of Tolgus (later shortened to just Spriguns) were a British folk-rock group formed in 1972, who have long been admired by connoisseurs of that era. Having made two self-funded albums, they attracted a major label deal with Decca for two further LPs, which demonstrated their growing originality, and caught the attention of some significant figures in that world.
After two Decca albums Mandy decided to form her own label and rebranded as Mandy Morton and Spriguns to record the Magic Lady album. This led to a solo licensing deal with Polydor Norway and two more albums followed. Mandy Morton and her band toured Scandinavia extensively before disbanding in 1885.
Compiled and co-ordinated by Mandy herself, ‘After The Storm’ is an ambitious 6CD and DVD box set which offers the entire recorded output of Spriguns and Mandy Morton in their various musical guises, from their lo-fi cassette-only album ‘Rowdy Dowdy Day’ from 1972 to the final Mandy Morton Band LP ‘Valley Of Light’ from 1983. Many of the above have been remastered for the first time directly from the original master tapes. And in addition, Mandy discovered several previously unreleased tracks, which appear as bonuses.
The whole package has been beautifully designed, with a plethora of illustrations and sleevenotes by Mandy herself. In every respect, ‘After The Storm’ is the ultimate tribute to the music of Spriguns and Mandy Morton – long held in high esteem by folk rock collectors “in the know” but deserving of a deluxe box set to pay proper homage to their musical legacy.
Twenty-five years into a music career that has seen five Grammy nominations, two RIAA certified Gold records and, most recently, the publication of 'Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir', an honest reflection on his life in music and beyond, Mark Morton's creative energy is at an all-time high. 'Without the Pain', his second solo outing and a paean to his longstanding love of southern rock is produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the album features a world class list of contributors, including some of americana, rock and country's biggest names.
