From the Youtube page (via Google Translate):
“J Gray, whose lyrics go far beyond the familiar "My Baby Left Me" clichés, has an extremely succinct voice - and the ability to move with his songs. Both emotionally and physically. For almost 15 years John Gray Higginbotham aka JJ Gray has been trying to implement his vision of honest, handmade southern music - with Mofro he has found the ideal backing band.”
Here is another live show that I acquired somewhere along the way when I used to do a lot of trading.
You can visit the show’s Live Music Archive page to download the show for yourself, or you can stream it below, download it here as one big file.
I think this was still when they were just going by Mofro and were associated with the Fog City Records label. There was a period when I would buy any album on Fog City. Papa Mali, Galactic, Mofro, Robert Walter’s 20th Congress, Stanton Moore, Garage a Trois, come on, son. Fog City ruled.
Anyway, enjoy JJ Grey and Mofro live at the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco, courtesy of Fog City’s Dan Prothero.
