  • Description

    Singing with a passion and fervor directly influenced by the classic soul heroes, JJ Grey has written and recorded five albums of original songs steeped in the rhythm & blues, rock and country soul of his native backwoods home outside Jacksonville, Florida. Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern storytellers and, in that spirit, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid, personal and universal. After a decade of hard touring, he still spends eight months of the year on the road, bringing his music to a loyal, ever-growing, worldwide fanbase.

    2010 sees the Alligator Records release of Grey's latest labor of love, Georgia 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.

    Description

    From the swaggering, slide-drenched title track to the duet with reggae icon Toots Hibbert on "Sweetest Thing" to the hypnotic build of "King Hummingbird," this is the work for a world-class songwriter and artist at the top of his game. Guitarist Derek Trucks also guests. "Inspired, deliriously funky, deep-in-the-pocket front porch soul."-Chicago Sun-Times
