Hi Eva,
This thread has reminded me that JJ Grey and Mofro was recommended to me by their UK PR company (they were also Joe's until recently 
).
Here's what I was sent.

BBC Radio 2 Bob Harris "Very atmospheric, very swampy"
Bluesart “A strong example of just why these roots-rock guys are so popular – rock ‘n’ soul, slinky, swampy down-home funk, 'rock 'n' soul' an aching acoustic number with a country tinge, and Toots Hibbert joining JJ for a piece of classic soul.”
Zeitgeist & Amazon “….this might be the album that breaks them through to a wider audience.”
Get Ready To Rock JJ serves up an emotive set of soul laced southern blues, delivered with honesty, humility, and well, soul. “Georgia Warhorse” does exactly what it says on the can, without frills or pretension and confirming that this particular brand of rock is, like the lubber grasshopper, indestructible.
Sunshine Radio (Wales) “Love the JJ Grey album...It's one of the classiest albums of the year”
Fatea “This is the sort of blues that could buy you redemption or a hot place in hell, pretty much your choice.”
Blues in Britain JJ Grey & Mofro have produced a deeply, sumptuously & subtly compelling album 8/10
Burton Daily Mail 4****Sultry and mellow, Georgia Warhouse incorporates everything that stands for American blues and rock.
Bournemouth Echo “Imagine Otis Redding hadn’t died in 1967 but had gone on to make an album with The Faces in 1972 in which he channeled the funky spirit of Sly Stone and the voodoo heart of Dr John. Congratulations, you’ve just conjured the swampy musical melting pot that is Georgia boy JJ Grey and his band of merry pranksters Mofro”
Total Guitar Mag “Georgia Warhorse” is a beautiful collection of southern rock/soul songs. JJ’s voice drives every song. Soul and rock happy together.

“The guy who has helped the blues industry the most is Joe Bonamassa and I would say he is more rock than some rock stuff, so to me blues is whatever you want it to be!”
