    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

    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!!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
