‘Til The Money$ All Gone is the title track of the fifth album from Auckland’s rhythm & blues outfit, The Flaming Mudcats. Eleven original songs showcase the band's evolving song writing and diverse musicianship. The album reflects their passion to capture the sounds, styles and feels of their American rhythm & blues influences. Drawing from the West Coast, Chicago, Texas and the deep South, the album clearly shows a varied mixture of swing, shuffles and four-on-floor grooves, spiced with a touch of New Orleans strut. 
A strength of The Flaming Mudcats’ song writing is the strong story lines in the lyrics. This is backed up with some great performances from vocalist/blues harpist Craig Bracken who leads the band with authority while allowing plenty of room for the band to fly. The solid rhythm section of Ian Thomson( drums) and Pete Parnham (electric and acoustic basses) is complemented by the unique guitar playing of Doug Bygrave and keyboardist Liam Ryan on piano and Hammond B3.
This is authentic, well-considered contemporary antipodean blues and signals a step up from one of New Zealand’s best live bands. Well worth a listen. This album reveals a band at the top of their game.Released February 6, 2024/
