The fabulous artwork for the new Mustansg album, Shaman & the Monkey, can at last be revealed!

The photograph was taken before the swanage Blues Festival show in October 2010 by photgrapher Greg Rowe.

"When we saw the photo, we instantly liked the mood and colour of it", says Adam. "We also wanted to feature the band on the cover this time, so it worked in a nice way there as it's only our backs you can see - probbaly for the best!"

Greg Rowe, who has taken the photos for the Mustangs' new album, saw the band at the Swanage Blues Festival in March 2011, and afterwards felt compelled to write a poem about the Festival and the band. 

"I don't know what came over me", said Greg, "I've never written anything like it in my life". 

Written in the style of legendary English gobbledygook raconteur Stanley Unwin, with an extra hint of Edward Lear,  you can read Greg's impressive ode here.
