The best part about a JJ Grey & Mofro set is the pure authenticity of the music. It’s untuck your shirt and kick off your shoes swamp-rock funky soul blues, and every word he sings rings true and fine. As JJ himself says, “The best songs I've ever written, I never wrote. They wrote themselves. The best show I ever played, played itself and had little to do with me or talent. To me, those things come from the power of an honest moment, and I guess I'm trying to live in that power and not force life to cough up what I want.”
It’s been nine long years since his last record (oh how we pined!) but with the release of Olustee, the wait is over. Every song struts and stomps, croons and growls in a get-down celebration of his Florida home, its people and their stories. And in their characteristic unvarnished authenticity, JJ and Mofro infuse the story-songs with insight, humor, love and sass. Let’s go get some.
