No one mentioned my favorite album of the year: Country Ghetto by JJ Grey & MOFRO.
The songs on Country Ghetto provide some of the best commentary on life in the US from any singer-songwriter today. It’s a shame that no one seems to be noticing their work.
I saw them play in Austin as part of the ACL Festival’s After Hours concert series. It was an incredibly good show (probably my favorite of the year - unfortunately Alexi Murdoch was a big disappointment).
It’s good to hear from you Sean! We pray for you often. That’s the one Mofro album I haven’t heard yet. I do enjoy the first two, especially the first one. I saw them play in a tiny club, probably 9 or 10 years ago and I was blown away!
