 JJ Grey & Mofro

 This River


This River is named for the St. John's River, a centering point for JJ's childhood near Jacksonville, Florida.

This River flows from freewheeling celebrations ('Florabama') to dark inner journeys ('Somebody Else'), from late night, beer-soaked testimonials ('Your Lady, She's Shady') to heartfelt ballads of the almost-forgotten ('The Ballad Of Larry Webb'), and ends with the title track and a singularly devastating vocal performance. His smoldering vocals, mesmerizing songs and dynamic grooves combine blues, R&B and rock into something both instantly danceable and lyrically intense.

Available on both CD and 180g vinyl (free download card included with vinyl)
