JJ Grey & Mofro The Orange Peel Asheville, North Carolina, USA October 29, 2009 A Doodee Music Master Recording "If it's a DOODEE, you know it's the SHIT" - Stripeydave 2008 ___________________________________ Nice set of swamp blues, funk and soul from JJ Grey and Mofro here fo' y'all. I've seen them a few times and this is the bluesiest show I've seen them do - seemed like there was more of a focus on those type of numbers and they was more jamming involved at this one. Seven songs clock in at 9:00 or longer! I like the versatility of this band. It's also tough to find a quality full-time horn section in a group these days and that base is definitely covered here. They don't call 'em "The Hercules Horns" for nuthin'. Check the samples and use the democratic process. JJ and the boys were the headliner on a most incredible triple bill with Shooter Jennings and Earl Greyhound. Gotta put an editorial note in here folks - this type of lineup is a nice illustration of what happens when quality music meets entertainment value. I paid $23 for a ticket and got to see three outstanding bands that graced me with a collective 4 hours and 15 minutes of excellent music. I recently attended a show at a Live Nation owned venue and my ticket "convenience" fees alone were $19, damn near the total price of admission to this excellent show. I was also given the priviledge of paying a paltry $9 for a Bud Light as well. I urge everyone - patronize your locally owned live music venues and cast your vote for the support they provide to your individual communities and music scene. This whole corporate ticketing/venue/radio owning monster is too big, too controlling and has way too much influence on what you get to hear (and more importantly what you don't get to hear) and what you have to pay to see certain shows. It needs to go and casting your vote via where you spend your $$ is the agent of change. And with that, consider the soapbox vacated. Y'all enjoy! 1. Higher You Climb 2. Mississippi 3. Blackwater 4.
