Search - Mofro :: Blackwater

FRONT PORCH SOUL & LIVE "JOOKHOUSE" FUNK from the Blackwater region of North Florida... MOFRO is led by singer / songwriter JJ Grey who grew up outside Jacksonville, developing a taste for raw grooves and living a life to inspire his soulful lyrics. Blackwater, Mofro's debut release on Fog City Records, maintains the label's focus on musicianship, fat tones and good times, deepened by insights into a place and culture that is slipping away with Florida's steady march to "progress". Guest drummer George Sluppick (on loan from Robert Walter?s 20th Congress) says: ?I feel like we've connected with each other on a very deep level... it's funky and groovin', like fried catfish and turnip greens... it's uplifting and spiritual, like grits and bacon... it's Southern to the core. My peoples!? Special guest: Robert Walter (Fog City recording artist and founding member of The Greyboy Allstars) Recommended side dish: Pan fried Cracker Meal shrimp with hush puppies. This is an ENHANCED CD: In addition to more than an hour of boombox-optimized barbeque soul, this CD can also be placed in the CD-ROM drive of most computers for a multimedia experience that includes a full screen video (recorded in studio during the Blackwater sessions), "hands on" interactive mixer, virtual reality studio tour and bonus audio tracks on CDROM... it's got soul, and it's superbad!
