On tour now: 2/4 Santa Ana CA, 2/5-6 Los Angeles CA, 4/17-19 Atlanta, “A twist of psychedelia and contemporary joy and angst” - Boston Globe 5/29 Bottlerock Festival, 6/1 Red Rocks, 7/17-20 Forecastle Festival JJ Grey & Mofro’s new single is Something Else “After all this time, you expect JJ Grey and Mofro to hit you with a simmer- ing gumbo of blues, rock, R&B, gospel, funk and folk — and “Every Minute,” from the group’s forthcoming album Ol’ Glory, doesn’t disappoint. What gives JJ Grey and Mofro its plangency, its lasting import, is the way all of that hearty musical goodness is wrapped around such personal narratives. The determinedly hopeful “Every Minute” begins in the back pew, with a soul- ful cry for grace in this life. As horns join the processional, the focus widens into a sermon about staying focused on the good that surrounds us. Soon, the Florida-based JJ Grey and Mofro are making an absolutely heav- enly, cross-pollinated racket, like a bourbon tabernacle hootenanny. “Every Minute” unfolds as if discovered in a long-lost hymnal item, but then reanimat- ed by the coolest group of Muscle Shoals cats you could scare up. Ol’ Glory, due February 24, 2015 as JJ Grey and Mofro’s debut for Pro- vogue Records, looks to be dotted with such heart-filling joys. Grey and Mofro members Anthony Cole, Andrew Trube, Anthony Farrell, Todd Smallie, Dennis Marion and Jeff Dazey were joined on the sessions by guests Luther Dickinson and Derek Trucks on dobro and slide, respectively.” - SomethingElse!, January 29 2015 Relix gives high marks to the new Ryan Bingham album “Over the course of a still-budding career that’s yet to mark its first decade, Ryan Bingham’s enjoyed a steady ascent in critical acclaim, and rightfully so. This, his fifth album, not only affirms Bingham’s prolific prowess but also a songwriting savvy that’s well beyond his 30s. Bingham’s coarse, cigarette-scarred vocals contribute to that world- weary view, suggesting a similarity to another former young buck, Steve Forbert. Even so, Bingham’s songs possess a tarnished quality of their own, making such selections as “Nobody Knows My Trouble,” “Broken Heart Tattoos” and the title track studies in plain- tive meditation. Happily though, Bingham’s not one of those downtrodden troubadours wholly bereft of optimism; the celebratory strains of “Radio” (“My radio makes me want to just lose my head”) and “Adventures of You and Me” testify to his steadfast determi- nation. It’s that unbridled intent that makes Fear and Saturday Night such an inspired contradiction.” - Relix, January 20 2015 The AV Club sings the praises of Mark Ronson “Mark Ronson gets more attention as a producer for what he brings to, and out of, other musicians than for his own releases. But on his fourth album, Up- town Special, Ronson has saved the best for himself, with Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Alicia Keys) co-writing and -producing and acclaimed novelist Michael Chabon contributing lyrics. Uptown Special’s overall tone features classic funk and R&B along the lines of masters James Brown and Stevie Wonder (who appears on the album). But the album is by no means restricted to those styles. The Steely Dan-in- formed breezy and beautiful “Summer Breaking” is the first of three delicately vocalized tracks from Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. He taps into his falsetto on “Daffodils,” giving the rock-guitar-spiked funk a groovy psychedelic twist. The parade of special guests continues throughout the album. The stanky funk of “Feel Right,” with its saucy brass and Mystikal’s downright nasty vocalization, most exemplifies the spirit of Uptown Special. Newcomer Keyone Starr is the soul queen ripping over “I Can’t Lose.” Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt releases his inner soulboy on the walk-of-shame tribute “Crack In The Pearl,” which features Wonder on harmonica. And the snazzy guitar and smooth vocal of “Heavy And Rolling” create a super-slick track. Without sacrificing authenticity, Ronson has created an accessible, pop-friendly, and undeniably sexy collection of funk and R&B. - AV Club, January 13 2015 - rating: A- Coming up: 2/16: The Black Cadillacs “About You”... 2/23 Ewert & The Two Dragons “Pictures,” Tony Lucca “Delilah”... 3/2: Kitty, Daisy & Lewis “Whenever You See Me,” Lilly Hiatt “Get This Right” RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 2/4/2015
