JJ Grey & Mofro – Georgia Warhorse (CD)
Product Details
JJ Grey has always been more preacher than performer, wringing something raw and confessional out of the swamps and pine flatwoods of North Florida long before Alligator Records gave him a wider pulpit. Georgia Warhorse finds him settling deeper into that pocket, balancing greasy Southern soul with the kind of weathered introspection that doesn't come from a studio formula but from years of hard-road gigging with a band that locks in like family.
eorgia Warhorse, named after the resilient Southern lubber grasshopper. "Yellow and black, and tough like an old-school Tonka toy," says JJ. "They seem so at ease with the world. Nothing seems to rile them. They're in no hurry but they have a kind of resilience because they just keep coming back and I've always felt there was a lesson in there for me to learn." Grey could be described in such words; his own career has grown over the course of a decade of winning over fans night after night
