Editorial Review:

Album Description:
ORANGE BLOSSOMS, produced by long-time cohort Dan Prothero and Grey, was recorded in north Florida and boasts some of Grey's most profound and moving music to date. The album features 12 songs (including 11 Grey originals) inspired by Grey's life experiences and visionary observations. With long-time friend and guitarist Daryl Hance, bassist/organist Adam Scone, drummer Anthony Cole, and the Hercules Horns of saxophonist Art Edmaiston and trumpeter Dennis Marion, Grey moves effortlessly from gospel-tent fervor to Southern-fried rockers to deeply emotional soul. ORANGE BLOSSOMS is a groove-driven masterpiece fueled by JJ's gritty, smoldering vocals and intense, funk-infused guitar and keyboard work.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Album
JJ Grey and Mofro have really put together a great album. Nearly every track takes me back to outside of the West side of Jacksonville. Few artists reflect the proud heritage of North Florida like these guys. Well worth the listen.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Blues-Southern Rock Soul

I have yet to find a band that matches JJ Grey & MOFRO's level of delivering a complete album each ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad, but not one of their better outings
These guys are a great band with a range of musical styles. One of the reasons I wasn't blown away by this outing is it is mostly a "blue-eyed soul"/R&B set, unlike their other stuff which is more wide ranging. I love the inspirations behind this sound: the late 60's early 70's sound that had a fat horn sound, background singers who step in to hit chorus with a wavering note, organ lead-ins, and funkified twangy guitar. But in a lot of places he moves past that period to something closer to the ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mofro does it again!!!
This album is outstanding - from the first song to the last. JJ Grey & Mofro just keep getting better. The horns are awesome and the music just makes you want to move - just awesome.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just gets better
I started out listening to this band with the purchase of their album Lochloosa.Totally blown away by the sound and soul of these guys.Think of sitting around on the weekend having a few drinks with friends and totally enjoying the atmosphere with this band playing in the backround or foreground, whatever floats your boat,and you have the makings of the perfect evening.They know how to touch on every day life with their lyrics and music.I have purchased Country Ghetto and Blackwater their debut album ...
