A couple of weeks ago, I took my daughter and her boyfriend to see JJ Grey & Mofro at the Kalamazoo State Theatre and we were not disappointed. I've been listening to JJ since 2010, so my daughter has grown up with JJ but her boyfriend had never heard the band. Needless to say, he was an instant fan and left the show with the new album on vinyl and a couple of CDs. Seeing JJ in concert is like going to church... you just feel better about life and the world. It was a great night of music and bonding.
This is crazy!!! I grew up in Florida in the 80s and 90s. I'll still sing the hook every once in awhile Now I can tell people it's a real song 😂😂 Its wild seeing a newer version of this song.
Not better equal to it that’s still impressive. Of course I’m as country as I am soul. No need to make a winner between a violin fiddle piano or horns just enjoy them all
My BFF Dawn Sergeant who saved my life in 2018 and was blessed with a liver and kidney on her bday in June the next year but her body rejected the kidney she died mother's day of 2022 I couldn't see her because of COVID when I was back home in the arklatex... she was ur absolute undeniable BIGGEST FAN and wanted me to sing This River at her funeral but I wasn't able to get there from Reno...well last week her brother Michael and dear friend since childhood was murdered in TDCJ prison after being unjustly sentenced to Life without a victim nobody was hurt... today was his birthday too... I am typing through my tears at this beautiful rendition of this song and would love for y'all to dedicate this and This River to the 2 of them...
My heart hurt hearing this. Covid was a nightmare and I was separated from my mom who was my hero. She passed 2021. I was her caretaker for the yrs she needed me and I think it was cruel to keep family apart as they were leaving us. And what made this worse was my brother who we all lived here in same driveway for all these yrs and was handicapped,unable to walk without assistance was murdered by his life long friend who he let live under his roof for free knowing the heartache it would put us thru. My mom followed him months afterwards. I felt your tears and I am sorry that you had to go through this . Stay strong. I wish I could go back before 2020.
What a beautiful rendition of one of Palatka's finest, John Anderson's song ❤. I'll definitely be cranking this and many more from your library as I drive home to Saint Augustine from Naples today with the GPS set to avoid interstates and toll roads. I have the time and you have the music 🤙🏽
Great arrangement. I’ve always loved the original with the fiddle, but this is incredibly well produced and every bit as beautiful and meaningful to us Floridians that truly understand the meaning behind it.
Great cover. But doesn’t have the same iconic native Seminole sound that John Anderson did such a great job of capturing. Or at least what we think of it as sounding like. Not taking anything away from this cover at all The horns are an amazing interpretation with some added soul. Love it
I'm glad I live in the part of Florida where there is more trees than people😁 Gilchrist County minutes away from the Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers and all the springs that feed them 😉
looking forward to the show in Macon in early May. c'mon folks --- buy up some tickets. gonna be a great show in a great town, with a great music history.
I have seen JJ in concert 4 times and each time it gets better. That man pours his soul into his music and it comes through in the way you feel at one of his shows. It's like he speaks to my soul when he sings. Truly an amazing experience . Shout out to the band as well. Fantastic musicians.
Throughly ENJOYED a CHILLY EVENING with JJ Grey last night in St. Louis!! Always an awesome show ❤❤THANK YOU for all you and your band does for us. Safe travels on the road. Hope to see you again in Huntsville ❤❤

That's so cool, I bet it was awesome ✌️💟🤟🎺🎸🎼
I always tell people that have never heard of Mofro that it's great music for the soul. I'm glad more and more people are discovering them. Good job!
Cheers 🙏❤️🔥😎
What a pleasure ,my 2 children the same wild camping blue tooth speaker with jj grey it's an instant relax ,wish ya all the best 👍
@@shaneharrowing226 awesome! They're music for the soul, to say the least.
Anthem. JJ embodies the kind of Old Florida soul that's been trampled by "progress."
He didn't write this song

Nice cover of the great John Anderson's Seminole Wind!

Rarely ever is a cover better than the original. This is one of those cases.
That's how I feel about Ryan Upchurch Nutshell

The trumpet solo kills!
Yuuuuus! I was the 777th like to boot. What a phenomenal cover y'all.
