The Mau Mau Chaplains
Cowboys And West Indians
This project was originally recorded about 8 years ago by Gene Brown and Moe Monsarrat. Our concept at the time was to incorporate some typical country music instrumentation (pedal steel , Telecaster, fiddle, mandolin)into reggae. Gene did an incredible job creating a distinctive sound for this recording. Sadly, before this CD was finished, Gene passed away. Also, our brilliant lead guitarist of 15 years, Boomer Norman, had a stroke and lost the use of his left arm.
I decided to finish this CD as tribute and testament to both Boomer and Gene. I added horns, backing vocal parts, and percussion to flesh out the sound, This CD is really a vision Gene and Moe had for the Mau Mau Chaplains.
Hope you enjoy it, Steve Carter

Release Date: 2005
Rewind to the seventies, when, as most Austin musicians were playing for smoke and tortilla chips, Smokey began to quietly record and archive some of the Hill Country's most unique musical performances. Then, fast forward to winter, 2005, when as most of us were arguing politics and wrapping Christmas presents, Smoky, unannounced as usual, quietly slipped back into town and sent the word out to those still riding for the brand, meet up at Bismeaux, and let's get this stuff out of the can...
The results are inescapable. Long shelved performances by the Lotions, the I-Tex Dub Boys, and E. R. Shorts have been magically brought back to life featuring Austin's quintessential Reggae tribute band, the Mau-Mau Chaplains. In addition to vintage performances by the above-mentioned artists, this album contains several new recordings by the Mau-Maus.

I-Tex
Camp Ben Reunion, 2002
I-Tex, whose forte was playing Texas country music in a reggae style, was a predecessor reggae band of the Mau Mau Chaplains, fronted by Alan Moe Monsarrat.
These are board recordings from a reunion of the I-Tex band held at Camp Ben McCulloch, located twenty miles west of Austin. This reunion, a seminal point in the organization of the Mau Maus, comprised a band assembled by an amazing response to an open invitation issued to any and all fans and twenty-sumthin' former members of the I-Tex band, an Austin reggae staple throughout the eighties.

Border Crossing
This studio recording of the I-Tex band, completed to a pre-mastering stage, was an attempt to capture the late-eighties Texas reggae scene and the lifestyle of it's participants.
Time and copying have done nothing to help audio quality, but time has not hurt the quality of the performances.
