I had this song playing as I almost jumped of a bridge and standing there on the edge looking in too blackness and all I could hear was this pounding from my car I started to cry and took a step back and I'm going to show all the reasons why I was put here and I'm going go hard and pursue a family and show my son the sweetest thing about life .....that is YOU YOU ARE THE SWEETEST THING ALIVE
Hey man - glad youre still here - life is short - enjoy every moment - cherish every single smile, every hug - every beer and that sunrise - choose life,,,,i hear you man.

The Sun is shining was sent to me a month after my stroke three years ago and I can honestly say that the good Lord used it to help save me from depression and get me to choose Joy and get back to the business of living. Thank you for singing with such passion
Wow!!! And thank you for your pristinely written review that obviously flows from the center of your soul as you gave our Creator all the glory & honor by your reaffirmation that He has "a reason for everything" as I have learned was always reminded of by my Fairy or should I say Merry Foster Mother , not the Evil Foster Mother, Gods' Grace I'll call her & I- quoting Ken Kelsey when he first told the other pranksters: "I'm gonna write a book." I think I'm gonna call it: "I THINK MY GOOD FOSTER MOTHER WAS A MERRY PRANKSTER!" L.M. A. O!!! But she really was SO AMAZING, ON A SHAMANIC LEVEL JUST A TOTAL SERVANT OF GOD. LET'S KEEP MAKIN THOSE JOYFUL NOISES TO HIM & WE'RE GAUR ANTEED OUR HEARTS DESIRE! Yep it & it makes a Perfect Circle back to GODS' GIFT OF MUSIC THAT HE'S SO GENEROUSLY GIVEN TO US MY FELLOW PEN PUSHIN DADDY!!!!
Absoultely blown away by this song & the band. Only got into them last winter and they have a beautifully unique sound that personifies everything I love about good music. Please come to the UK - pretty sure you'd be a big hit
A vascular surgeon i work with (who is also a musician) had 'Lochloosa' playing during a case. I walked into the room and was instantly hooked to this man's wonderful voice. I really like his look, bad dentition and all, because it adds to the absolute genuineness (sp) of who he is. He has become more produced, as they say, but he still touches my soul. My son and I went to see him in LA, and he did a fab encore of Lochloosa. So grateful, Dr. Canty!!! Thank you for exposing me me to this wonderful talent in this world.
More often than not people get introduced to this type of soulful music only through others that appreciate it. You will not hear it on the radio, that's for sure. Glad you have been introduced to J.J's soul!
My best music find in the last 5 years easily. Can’t wait to see these guys live. Don’t know where it’s gonna be, but it’s gonna happen soon. Everyone I play this band for just fall in love with them as well.
I can listen to JJ anytime, but when I am feeling "down" or stressed and it all goes away. LOVE this guy! TONS of soul and lots of feeling in all that he performs. He is my favorite muscian. LOVE HIM!
Yep! I think he's an ol' Southern Baptist boy and he done got himself Born Again as a lil widdy lad and now he's pouring it all out on the stage. He's like regular ol festival drink offering poured out all over the floor! Peace ~ cj
IMO JJ Grey is the finest soul/rock vocalist out of the South since Gregg Allman. And as he told me once regarding reggae, 'You know what I love about Jamaica? IT'S JUST MORE SOUTH!'❤
Seen him in a tiny dive bar here in Auburn, AL and he is just incredible. He puts so much passion and soul into every song he performs. I am 37yrs old and have seen countless live performances and JJ Grey is at the top. If he is ever playing near anyone reading this, GO SEE HIM.......
Great group and yes where have they been hiding, love that Cajun twang bluegrass rock, damn every song is good by these guys, big fan now hooked here boys...
Man you turn on the radio and don't hear a thing worth listening to. Spend a few minutes clicking around on UA-cam and you find gems like this. It's almost like the record companies don't want anyone to hear good music. I'm hearing JJ Grey for the first time today and I'm hooked. This is good stuff.
Saw Mofro (before they bacame JJ Grey and Mofro) in 2001 in a small bar in Blacksburg,VA. There may have been 30 people in the entire bar. I actually got to sit at the bar with JJ and drink a beer. Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. I was in the bar listening and could not believe it wasn't packed with people. Best musician I've heard in a long time.
I dedicate this song to Mother Earth because she is the sweetest thing that has the most beautifulest things on this Earth the plants the flowers the birds the creatures the wind and the Sun
We have been fortunate to have seen JJ Grey and Mofro 8 times in the past two years. Recently on Sept. 11th, 2010. These guys are now the top on my list, and not only are they all some real genuine guys, the crew too. Thanks a ton, agin to Bruce Iglauer for bringing this great group of musicans out to us and being their record label. JJ's music hits the heart and soul. He is the real deal, and that soulful funkfilled sound is not only refreshing, it is also retro in the best of ways.
Had the opportunity to see these guys live about 3months after hearing them for th 1st time being a 25yr harmonica player myself I must say JJ Grey is on the top of my list✌
Wow where the heck have I been ? Danged almost 50 years old and from Florida, and never heard of JJ Grey and Mofro. I just found them today and burning up my headphones.
I had this song playing as I almost jumped of a bridge and standing there on the edge looking in too blackness and all I could hear was this pounding from my car I started to cry and took a step back and I'm going to show all the reasons why I was put here and I'm going go hard and pursue a family and show my son the sweetest thing about life .....that is YOU YOU ARE THE SWEETEST THING ALIVE
Glad you’re still with us.

Peace ~ cj

How can you not like this!
JJ Grey & Mofro are definitely a unique group of people. You don't hear music like this anymore. they're spectacular
IMO JJ Grey is the finest soul/rock vocalist out of the South since Gregg Allman. And as he told me once regarding reggae, 'You know what I love about Jamaica? IT'S JUST MORE SOUTH!'❤
Man I got chills when Toots Hibbert's solo came on, great chemistry between these two singers.
One of my favorite videos,these two singing 🤟🏻❤️😎
F!#%k ya. Everyone in the 🌍 should have to listen to this every morning! Keep your head up out there!

I can't ever get enough of this song. It's home, it's friends, it's life here and now.
Absolutely amazing that this isn't mainstream hit music. Humans are over.
Great group and yes where have they been hiding, love that Cajun twang bluegrass rock, damn every song is good by these guys, big fan now hooked here boys...
I am from Florida and I know exactly what JJ grey and mofro is singing about. Hell yeah!!!!
Same here

It's almost like the record companies don't want anyone to hear good music. I'm hearing JJ Grey for the first time today and I'm hooked. This is good stuff.
1 of the greatest era's of music in the history of music," it had soul/ meaning
Saw Mofro (before they bacame JJ Grey and Mofro) in 2001 in a small bar in Blacksburg,VA. There may have been 30 people in the entire bar. I actually got to sit at the bar with JJ and drink a beer. Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. I was in the bar listening and could not believe it wasn't packed with people. Best musician I've heard in a long time.
JJ Grey + Toots Hibbert = some sweet, soulful listening! Can't get enough of this song!
Wow is all I can say
JJGrey, your voice is the sweetest thang! Just found you and Mofro and I'm totally in love with your music!
I grew up in Jacksonville, FL ( Mayport and Atlantic Beach) and I think JJ and Mofro are the best thing to come from there since Skynard!!!!!
You & Toots got this one, The Best Song I dig it . It's has that special feeling!!! 🙃
I dedicate this song to Mother Earth because she is the sweetest thing that has the most beautifulest things on this Earth the plants the flowers the birds the creatures the wind and the Sun
I went for a walk went across a bridge and thought of this man

Love Toots. Most beautiful voice out of Jamaica. "Do the REGGAY"!!!
I've heard it 54-46 times...
The sweetest thing makes me 😊. Love it!
great Intro - and killer music, blue eyed soul with hard deep roots.... love the horn charts... keep on, guys, keep on...
Wonderful song. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Love to pictures of the swamps and bayous. Simple life God how I miss the peace, the family times. Life has become so fast, the hustle and busle.
Love this ! Great upbeat music ! A song that brings happiness! 4:25
Suicide has been on my mind on and off sense I was15yrs old but, I know that Jesus won't forgive me for that so that's why I'm still here ❤
I'm the same . But I'm getting tired of it circling over and over and scared it's going to happen. I also know God has forgiven me and you.
I fight this every day .but change may be tomorrow s gift. So far I chose life
never gets old 2019
for real
I know, that’s why the world is missing out on JJ Grey and Mofro
2020 too!!😊
Could listen to this song all day long. Makes the autumn blues go away.
JJ is gonna be in St.Augustine April 16th for the rhythm and ribs festival, costs a whole $5, I will be there with bells on!!
JJ's music communicates love...that's what music is for.
Awesome. Madrid is listening.
Had the opportunity to see these guys live about 3months after hearing them for th 1st time being a 25yr harmonica player myself I must say JJ Grey is on the top of my list✌
