Classic 2007 Album on Vinyl LP!
Pressed on Vinyl for the Very First Time!
First-ever vinyl availability for the bestselling title of JJ Grey's career, with over 109,000 units scanned since its original release in 2007. 140-gram black vinyl pressing.
JJ's intoxicating blend of Dixie-fried rock, swampy blues and gritty R&B is at its peak in these compelling, literary songs brimming with outsized characters and soul-shaking music. Tracks include fan favorites "The Sun Is Shining Down," "War," "A Woman" and the title song.
Taking their cues from early Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tony Joe White, Mofro play a slinky, sinuous brand of Louisiana soul-funk-blues, while Grey himself alternates between the good ol' boy debauchery of Ronnie Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynyrd and the classic soul entreaties of Otis Redding and Clarence Carter....Country Ghetto is a down-and-dirty delight, and a fine addition to the swamp rock canon.
A glorious, soul-drenched delight...down-home funk, blues and Dixie rock, unmistakably Southern, undeniably soulful.
