I heard the band in PBS show called Suwanee River Festival and I just like the way they sound. I tried to get the Lochloosa CD but Amazon has it for $159. That's a little bit much for a CD. Anyone knows where I can get it for less than that? Thanks.Free Music Review: Florida's new state anthem
Hit: 5 Stars
I had to write a review here, just to put my own 2 cents in. So far, the other reviews I've read are nearly right on, so I'll try not to reiterate too much here.
The CD itself is much more cohesive than their first release, "Blackwater." Where BW attempted to find itself, "Lochloosa" stays put in it's own genre, theme and feel, and it's excellent from start to finish. It touches on influences ranging from southern rock to gospel, soul and blues.
Not mentioned in any of the reviews I read is how truly incredible the song "Ten Thousand Islands" is. In fact, I believe this is JJ's best song--musically and lyrically. The song is about a well-dressed murderer who lived in Florida in the late 19th century. He went from town to town killing people for pleasure. The legend around him grew even before he died. The lyrics only make the song better, but the music itself could carry the tune, and I can only imagine how good Mofro must do this one live, extending it out 10 minutes or so?
Other tunes are excellent as well on this CD: the soulful "Lochloosa," the early 70's ZZ Top-esque "Dirtfloorcracker," "Six Ways From Sunday" and "Y'all Ready" are all catchy songs with great lyrics.
Apart from the music, you'd be hard pressed to find another group that can tell you more about Florida's history than Mofro. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Early American Music, but especially to those who live in the deep south. This CD is a must-have.
Free Music Review: Homesick, but it's alright
Hit: 5 Stars
Mofro is one of the most entertaining bands in the nation. The soul, energy, and thought-provocking lyrics that come from J.J. Grey and company are simply like nothing I've ever heard. Do yourself a favor and go to their website, find a date at a venue near you, and go.
Lochloosa is Mofro's follow-up CD to Blackwater. It features a diverse array of material - no song sounds anything like another. I particularly like "Everybodys", "Pray for Rain" - hidden track,"dirt floor cracka", and of course "Lochloosa".
What can I compare the sound to? Nothing. This is swamp funk. It's got soul, it's got funk, and it's fried up in batter to taste good.
Free Music Review: Better then their first
Hit: 5 Stars
Mofro rocks and this CD is even better then the first one. Highly recommend this CD to anyone that really enjoys good music.
