Country Ghetto, now available on vinyl for the first time, features 12 original JJ Grey compositions that come right out of the Southern musical and literary tradition. Grey’s ear for detail inhabits his songs, whether it’s a story passed down from his grandmother or the tribulations of a childhood friend. His voice delivers them with an unflinching strength that makes the personal universal, and the music, from smoldering soul ballads to gospel-fried funk to straight ahead rock and roll, brings it all home with ass-shaking grooves and a melodic freshness that stays long after the album ends.
