Product Details

Jacksonville native JJ Grey writes about the rural Florida landscape and working-class life with the kind of specificity that only comes from living it, not observing it from a distance. *Country Ghetto* arrived as the band's Alligator debut, connecting their raw, Okefenokee-swamp sound to a label whose roster had long carried the torch for American roots music at its most unvarnished.


JJ Grey & Mofro are creators of a singular musical mix they like to call "Front Porch Soul" and come to Alligator Records with exciting career momentum and vast potential. JJ Grey is a gifted singer/songwriter whose distinctly Southern lyrics play out over Mofro's dazzling display of fire-breathing R&B, swampy blues, arching soul and funky, Dixie-fried rock. JJ Grey & Mofro are now releasing their newest album, COUNTRY GHETTO.
