JJ Grey and Mofro exude rocking, funky, melodic, front porch realism in every song they play on the 2007 Alligator Records release Country Ghetto. Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern storytellers, and his songs oftentimes use the loss of his natural surrounding and the marginalization of the Southern culture he grew up in as a metaphor for universal truths.
