Release Notes:
--------
American blues-rock band JJ Grey & Mofro bring sublime summer goodness with its
ninth studio album OlÆ Glory. Despite multiple lineup changes for the act
founded in Jacksonville, Florida over the past two decades or so, the bandÆs
cohesion is palpable in its mostly buoyant, energised arrangements.

Opener Everything Is A Song fuses Born To Era-Bruce Springsteen (think the
euphoric booming drums on Thunder Road) together with the feel-good,
brass-driven 1970s soul of Al Green (think LetÆs Stay Together). Frontman GreyÆs
routine of surfing in the morning and recording in the afternoon surely must
have helped in contributing to those chilled out vibes. The track is fun and
uncomplicated, suited for a raucous late night with some good olÆ southern-style
chicken and beer. A Night To Remember is another effort perfect for a boozy,
unforgettable night that no one can remember, with its rolling bass, sensual
vocal grunts, slinky guitar licks and bluesy shuffle.

Every Minute begins optimistically with its message of living each moment to the
fullest, breaking through like rays of the morning sun with its surf-inspired
slide guitar. However, its bridge changes the mood towards the sinister, proving
to be unexpected, raw and hard-hitting. The sense of anger and defiance
continues on Brave LilÆ Fighter, seemingly about the struggle to survive. DonÆt
be fooled by a slight disco shuffle, guitar riffs micking a funky clavinet and
Dennis Marionæs trumpet solo appropriate for a campy, climatic shootout scene in
a epic Western. This almost six-minute epic is bound to psych listeners up in
the fight for life.

Sweaty, teasing moments occur on the menacing Turn Loose, the uplifting, sweaty
Home In The Sky and the loud, filthy Hold On Tight (which particularly shows off
GreyÆs impressive throat rasp and blistering guitar by Andrew Trube).The
gentler, country-tinged acoustic ballad Tic Tac Toe may be a bit listless, but
the title track is invigorating, smooth funk that has Grey getting DOWN.

There are softer, more religious moments such as the sunny The Island (which
evokes a church in the middle of some god-forsaken American desert with its
heartfelt vocals and gospel-like chords) and Light A Candle (whose message of
impermanence depicted in the metaphor of candles should resonate). Tender ballad
The Hurricane marks a poignant close to the album as the turbulent journey of
life throughout the album (complete with references to God opening his mouth and
seeking shelter from the storm) comes full circle to its soothing, inevitable
end.

JJ Grey & MofroÆs latest album proves to be a passionate, retro renaissance that
adds rockier and bluesy twists to 1960s and 1970s soul.
