A little more time off at home before we hit the road in July. Beautiful hot blue sky days. Had to run down to the local swimming hole just through the woods from my house.

JJ Grey & Mofro are proud to announce the release of their fourth studio album, Orange Blossoms, which hits stores nation-wide on August 26, 2008. In support of the new release, the boys will head out for a West coast tour in early September with friends Hill Country Revue featuring members of the North Mississippi Allstars on board as support. The tour will kick off on August 30 in St. Augustine with The Blackwater Sol Revue which will also be the official Florida CD release party. Check out the tour dates page for all the details on the first leg of the Fall 2008 Orange Blossoms tour, and keep checking back to see when they'll be in a town near you!

NOW WE’RE COOKING"
Interview: Jamie Hailstone
“I grew up when the 'root hog or die' days were still fresh in the minds of my parents and grandparents. I was brought up to earn it and not waste it, to respect womanhood and promote manhood, and to be thankful for what you got. By today's standards, we ourselves, and most of the folks we knew, lived below the so-called 'poverty line'. We were land and culture rich, and dollar poor, but I wouldn't trade my upbringing for any other.

JJ Grey & MOFRO have been voted one of the 10 best CDs of 2007 by WFUV. They are in great company with Amy Winehouse, Spoon, Mavis Staples, Jose Gonzalez, Radiohead, Wilco, Neil Young, Lucinda Williams and Nick Lowe. If you haven't picked up your copy of Country Ghetto, it's in stores now and available by clicking the store link above.
"intriguing and fortuitous... Grey's a songwriter with a sharp wit
and a knack for skewering the hypocrites, jive politicians and carpetbaggers who litter
the landscape. The MOFRO vibe travels freely among swamp funk, blues, rock and soul,
and does so with a certain down-and-dirty swagger that's as real as it is appealing."
