J.J. Grey & Mofro – Brighter Days

You know that feeling you get when you hear a new song or a new band for the first time and you feel an immediate attachment to the music? That’s what will happen to you when you watch this combination documentary/concert film featuring the music of J.J. Grey. Of course, if you already know his music, you’ll have a great time watching this extremely well-made movie – the sound is great, the concert is shot without a lot of fuss (which is the way it should  be) and the quieter moments of Grey just sitting there talking to the camera are the kind pf treasures fans live  for. It’s the journey of discovery, though, that makes this one worth buying. Be warned, though, that if you are the kind of person that needs to know what “kind” of music he plays before you give it a try, you may be a bit too uptight to enjoy it. Even the guys in the band can’t put a label on the music J. J. Grey writes – only agreeing that it’s good to play, good to hear and good to dance to. So you really need to know any more?
