The greatest white soul and blues singer EVER. The man can make you feel something that seldom other people can get you to feel just by a song. He's one of my favs. If you ever get a chance to see him life, you must!
Holy mother of all that is holy.... this is life changing music. I am hopeful now that real music isn't dead. My Lochloosa is a little creek in Northern AZ where I take my kids and everything becomes right with the world, cares melt away, my soul becomes cleansed and it's the only place where life makes sense. Thank you, thank you so much for this
You can FEEL that everything about this performance is deeply personal to JJ and he makes us feel it too. This is what the greatest performers do that others only dream of.
Ocala fl where I call home and Crystal River for 30 plus years. And Ocala made news again. It use to be a sleepy little town where there were cows everywhere and Mustangs ran free. Now 😢, it's hard to find a native Floridan anymore.
Well put. I’m in tears every time I listen to this song. I don’t know if its tears of joy or pain, but they run like Mississippi. I can’t believe a song can stop the world around you. This man is one of a kind. How did I not hear this song before this year?
i was sitting around a table with some friends at a place in Lake Worth, FLA. The evening jam session after group all day. Rehab. A friend put this on, no one was really paying attention, we were just chillin, and the guitar solo came up and I said "who the fuck is this?" "JJ Grey and Mfro," she replied. Been listening to it ever since, rehab didn't stick, but Lochloosa still jams almost on the daily.
I went to Jacksonville and Gainesville for the first time last week, and made a point to drive to Lochloosa. I found a dirt road off of Hwy 301 on the south side of the lake, which took me to a scene that perfectly resembled this song. I pulled this video up while I sat on the bank, and listened and enjoyed. The wildlife was amazing and a bald eagle even flew over. Thank you JJ!
Me and my high school sweetheart recently reconnect 25 years later. We danced and listened to this song all night. It was amazing, thanks for the great memory.
Between the harmonica and the love for this place you can hear in his voice when he sings!!!... JJ Grey is the truth. I thank my dad for introducing me to his music 👌💯💪
This song right here saved me! I was in a dark place for two years, after loosing my grandma! I never have heard of JJ before! But i clicked on this video, and my life changed! So thank you!!! JJ Gray!!!
I am lucky enough to know JJ personally. We grew up on the dirt roads of a small community west of Jacksonville called Maxville. it is an honor as a USMC Vet to call him a dear friend. And I have always supported him. Long live the summer days of fishing on Lake 'Loosie
This always brings a couple tears to my eyes because my Lochloosa is going away. It's also the passion and energy that JJ and the band have. Thank you to JJ and boys for keeping me in touch with my inner soul
I've loved this song from the instant I heard the first couple of notes..... it's a tearjerker for sure and I'm not from Florida.... It's the feeling put into singing it that does it for t
My Lochloosa is Perkiomen valley airport (N10). I grew up there, my Dad let me fly his plane before I drove his car. There are public pictures however, they do no justice. I have great pictures
@@marystrand1547 , I live in Florida and spent some long weekends of my childhood in Lochloosa. No doubt it has changed from then, but I'll always remember it as a sleepy, quiet collection of fishing shacks and cypress trees.
If you want an emotive experience that you can trust is not altered nor enhanced by any techno-assist then JJ is your man. I love his natural ability to bring a song to life. This song is about as close to soul expression than one can get. A true artist!
He writes the lyrics and absolutely drop mics the harmonica and guitar on this. He's amazing! All that being said his band is no joke and huge part of the sound. Respect all around.
I heard this voice, on some TV drama. I was intrigued!? Powerful, emotional, comforting.....? I was brought to tears... Sun is shining! I was shredded..... how did I not hear this before? I absolutely love It... JJ Grey & Mofro's don't ever stop!
Love from IRELAND. This is fucking sublime. Huge love. This video is a constant on a long ass list. Hope this finds you all well, those who come here and may read this. Big love. ❤️🇮🇪
I’ve seen JJ Grey and Mofro twice now, and look forward to seeing them many more times. They play with so much passion and the songs speak in a way that most don’t. I just spent a couple week sin the Keys and we came back through Lochloosa and it looked so untouched and pure at the lake. Long live places like LockLoosa!!!
I can't stop listening to JJ Grey's music..... I've become a junkie!!! Especially this particular video.... I think I've listened to it about 50 times in just the past week!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!!!!
The man is a man his voice is from deep within himself and the harmonica wasn’t far from him when he born and then comes the guitar he took me places many places thanks Mitch I needed that
I am a Texas boy and the place for me was between Castroville and Quihi the Medina river ran in between. I sat on the banks and dreamed and fished and cried over the lovers who had enough sense to leave me behind for I was self centered an egotistical Bastard. I did understand how to respect and Love. And I am highly grateful that some felt the same about me. God bless yall...Viva Tejas!
I just found this today and I am competely blown away! WOW! I'm not southern (but I do have southern roots) but I feel every bit of hot, humid, swampy Florida air and soul in this performance.
Had the wonderful pleasure of opening a show for him here in my hometown of Tallahassee at beautiful Cascades Park. This song means so much to me. He's such a nice guy and this song was my favorite part of an incredible show.
What a TRUE MUSICIAN.....Theres the meaning and definition of a TRUE MUSICIAN.....WOW!!!! Ive listened to this song 1000 times and it only gets better every time I listen to it......J.J you are very very talented.....Much respect to you....May you be blessed with a wonderful and great career.....You surely do deserve it........Keep making the Great Music.......
Grew up in Grove Park Florida and road the dirt roads of the wildlife management area that surrounds this lake. This song hits my soul on a different level. Learned to drive on those roads, learned to swim in Lochloosa Creek, got my first kiss in those woods. I live in Jax now but that will always be home. Much love JJ
A friend shared this song with me and ever since then I can't get enough of this song I feel it in my soul thank you to my special friend who shared it with me
what pisses me off the most...it took me so long to discover JJ and Mofro...the real deal !!!...as a DJ , JJ's gospel will be spread in the Northeast...talent, soul, musical grit, passion...I'm a BELIEVER !!!...
This song brought me to TEARS the first time I heard it and it brings me to tears to this day! What soul JJ has and love for his home is something extraudinary! Absolutely love and appreciate the harmonica and horns that accompany his music! GREAT PERFORMANCE! LONG LIVE LOCHLOOSA AND THE JJ GREY BAND! SEEN JJ GREY TWICE IN INDIANA AND WAS GOING TO THE PUNTA GORDA SHOW IN FL BEFORE IT WAS CANCELED BECAUSE OF HURRICANE IRMA!
Chill bumps every-effin-time!! These cats bring so much love and peace of mind to their shows...just like this here...So much Love and Respect for these cats. Thank you brothers
my brother in law introduced me to this band, and gotta say the vibes of their music just grooved on a soulful level, it's one of those times your just really glad you were at a good place and a good time to hear some really beautiful music.
Dude, Jay Jay was one of the nicest people I've ever met.. He came to St. Augustine Cafe 11, and he was so happy to listen to my dude from mississippi, such a soulful, humble person. It makes me love his music so much more..
I love this song. I saw it when I was living in a city . I prayed I would find my piece of land and my piece of mind. I did my goodness. I'm blessed. Thanks guy. God bless you
This is the only song I've seen that can be played and will stop a whole construction site full of guys to sit by and have they're ears glued to the speakers. Long live JJ Grey and Mofro
My Lochloosa is Powell River, British Columbia ... winter snows would come and drop a foot overnight and silence the farmland so you could hear a pin drop. Since I was a kid the Deer, Elk, Bear, Wolves and Mountain Lions have all returned. Summer nights at the beach watching the sun set over Vancouver Island. God I miss back home. Thanks for this.
My best friend grew up at Lake of the Ozarks, his Lochloosa is the cove he knows from childhood... it is the place "where he goes to get reality!" Long live his Lochloosa... cheers my friend.
I love this band they remind me of that feeling of going to the lake when we were in high school and a little bit beyond and just enjoying life listening to music and having a great time I love this band
I live in Florida, have for 30 years. My mother is from Miami via Georgia and lived in Jacksonville for a time. My father is a North Carolinian who was raised mostly in Alabama and Florida (Florala and Arcadia) and both of my grandparents on his side died in Jacksonville. I’ve lived equal parts in NC and MD with most of my years in Florida. Home. I have 2 Lochloosa’s. A mountain in Virginia near Stanley and Shark River Valley on the Miccosukee reservation in South Florida. This song and this band has a big fan. When I hear this song I think of these places. Thanks JJ and Mofro!
My best friend sent me this yesterday.I"m hooked.I live 50 Milestone from Lake Lochloosa! Born,bred and raised on Lake Locklossa! My family had a mobile home on the banks and I started fishing at the ripe Old age of 2 years of age.
His storytelling wraps you in a warm blanket out of the dryer and doesn't let you go. This song is grandmas apple pie on a beautiful summer evening sitting out side in the rocking chair listening to the birds sing. Doesn't get much better than this. I hope everyone finds their own Lochloosa during all this craziness in the world.
This is one of the best singers and bands I've ever heard . What a voice ! His voice raises chills all over me and it takes a good one to bring that outta me.
Yup. The real deal. Every time I see em live my mind is reblown, RUclips can’t do them justice. Thanks for everything JJ! Every country, State, and county has a Lochloosa. Find it go there put some headphones on blaze a fatty and get back to reality.
Christopher Mitchell - I'm in New Zealand, and just found him 29/12/2019 - how I relate to your words!! Pray one day he comes to NZ................I can't get enough!! lol...xx
This song is absolutely timeless! I have loved it since the first time I ever heard it, I grew up in South Florida and I completely relate to every word! But it is amazing to see how it brings everyone together the blues, soul, rock and roll, jazz bands, just everything it really is a thing of beauty! Another thing about this recording this video is JJ Gray did not miss a single beat a single fret nothing it was literally perfect! 🙏
I lived in Fla. back in the late 80s only for a short time. Been around this great country. One constant is true "home is where your heart is". This song expresses that completely. Thank you for your music...
My husband says to say to these artists: F-en Awesomestist, Greatestest Unexpecteded WOW, I beleive I have ever, ever heard!!! Thoroughly , thoroughly , enjoyed every , vocal, keyboard, wind instrument, drums, guitar, harp and singer. This song went to the core of my being ,.......... to know that such a place DOES EXIST!! He didnt know it, but he wrote and or sang this song for us people like me. Cant wait to find and see mine! Thanks to the whole group.
You forever win my heart... This song is so true... Beautiful brother.. Everything yes... One can only find there own peace.. And I'm all in mine... ♡✌♡ Portola California in that Lil meadow... ❤
this man sung this sing with so much love that me and a buddy got on the bikes and rode down to see what this was that would make him sing about it like he did...best road trip I've ever had
I've seen JJGREY twice in NOLA . and going to see him in Texas H.O.B. in September . A buddy turned me on to him and I sware he's truly amazing. Anybody that can make u jump up and dance in one song then bring tears to ur eyes in another is a bad ass to me
I am blessed by his music. I understand the entire sentiment about our natural resources being overrun by human development. God Bless our Beautiful Nation.
Leaves me in tears at my best listening site, ankle deep on a skiathos beach in greece that's my loochloosa - outstanding JJ you are the man - from johnny davis
First time i've heard this song i was involved with such awesome feelin' and energy!!! This song has touched way deep down in my heart, by the first note till the last. Nowadays outstanding songs are pretty valuable to whoever has a deep love with real art! This is made with soul and quite visceral voice, It becomes this art even more perfect! It takes me away from my town in São Paulo's countryside and moves me to this magic place, somewhere in Florida. Someday, God willin' I'll be out there to enjoy this magic place too. This is a masterpiece, thank u ! God bless y'all JJ Gray and Mofro! Hugs from Brasil! 🇧🇷
I transplanted to Florida 3 years ago and this guy makes me feel like I grew up here. That harp in the beginning and his emotion just reverberates through your soul.
Heart him two years ago. What a really fantastic musician and singer. Got now nearly every song from him. Since two years JJ Grey has another really edicted follower - me
I love this song so much and I don't even listen to this type of music that much. I happened to hear it on NPR a few years back and it just stuck with me. It just has so much passion and soul. I love his speech before this song. He seems like such a real, down to earth guy. "I don't go there to escape reality, I go there to GET to reality."
I haven't listened to music for years but i heard JJ Grey last night on House of Cards and had to look it up. Spent the next EIGHT HOURS with his music on, slept, then it's been on again all day. I know what you mean about him seeming down to Earth. And his lyrics are so honest and real. A treasure!!
i can sit and listen to this , the river and the sun is shining down for hrs . my life flipped upside down over night and it soothes my soul and keeps me focused and gives me meaning for my tomorrow ..........without it and who knows where the hell id be
Just stumbled across these guys-they rock!Go about 1500 miles west to the deep canyon oasis of the Devils River, Texas that is my home and and this song fits like a glove except we don’t have mosquitoes. Vanishing America must be protected! Wild and Free Forever!!!
The greatest white soul and blues singer EVER. The man can make you feel something that seldom other people can get you to feel just by a song. He's one of my favs. If you ever get a chance to see him life, you must!
I don’t always listen to jj grey, but when I do, so do my neighbors!!
Love him!!
Amazing
At least once a week !
Southeastern Ohio
I’ve been there..used to live in Ocala 😎❤️
Too relatable as I blast the blutooth speaker in my backyard at 1:30AM 😆
I don't think it's too loud, maybe if you were outside you'd hear, haha!
Holy mother of all that is holy.... this is life changing music. I am hopeful now that real music isn't dead. My Lochloosa is a little creek in Northern AZ where I take my kids and everything becomes right with the world, cares melt away, my soul becomes cleansed and it's the only place where life makes sense.

Hits the soul smack right down the middle...in such a great way...👍

He's One of the best
This guy sings with his whole soul..... and I love every minute of it.... I really wish I could see them live
Artists are the Ultimate Immortals....Their Work Lives On...and Beyond...Themselves.
I can't stop listening to JJ Grey's music..... I've become a junkie!!! Especially this particular video.... I think I've listened to it about 50 times in just the past week!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!!!!

I was just there a week ago. Brother Grey. No words. Man , Thank you for the gift of this life. Many thank you for you speaking.
This is the only song I've seen that can be played and will stop a whole construction site full of guys to sit by and have they're ears glued to the speakers. Long live JJ Grey and Mofro
Yep
I love JJ's voice !! His music is so relaxing and real!! Thank you Mark Gamage for turning me on to his music!! Best thing you ever did!!

I would love to see him
He is bad ass. Anyone who can make you feel like that song is just for you. Has something that grips your Heart and soul.
INDEED 😊
I love this band they remind me of that feeling of going to the lake when we were in high school and a little bit beyond and just enjoying life listening to music and having a great time I love this band
@Brent Far absolutely awakens your soul. Brought tears to my eyes.
💯💥💪✌️🤙👍
This gave me chills.
Almost like a spiritual experience. ❤❤
A friend and I, seeing him in our homestates, likened it to going to "church". Musical church.
The greatest artist that no one has ever heard of.
I agree I just found him singing THE RIVER he's awesome
Thank you JJ Grey & Mofros, your music connects me with my soul. Feeling the love.
My Grandson and I rock out to this by his request... he's 4 and already loves great music!

We Had a house on Lochloosa when I was growing up.Best Spec fishing on the world backup then.
I hate my phone changing the spelling on everything I write.
I heard this song on a episode of House MD and had to search for it. This is pure heart and soul. I'd give 10 thumbs up if I could.
Really on house? I never knew. I am very thankful to the special soul who turned me onto these guys. Life changing for me.
Love house, they always had/have a great soundtrack
Found the song through it too. Best show of all.
I'm finishing up season 7 now, it's amazing
I did too mike miller...once i heard it on house i found the song and now i cant stop listening to it...i just loveeeee it
His storytelling wraps you in a warm blanket out of the dryer and doesn't let you go. This song is grandmas apple pie on a beautiful summer evening sitting out side in the rocking chair listening to the birds sing. Doesn't get much better than this. I hope everyone finds their own Lochloosa during all this craziness in the world.
This is one of the best singers and bands I've ever heard . What a voice ! His voice raises chills all over me and it takes a good one to bring that outta me.
The world needs more storyteller like this man. Flawless
i have traveled all over to see this band... They move me...the passion...the real...I love it.. its an escape from life... Thank you JJ and Mofro....
Coming to Nashville next month?
It's not an escape it's actual reality lol
I love me some JJ Grey and Mofro, they take me to my happy place every single time!
Me too I get down and out all I have to do is listen to me some JJ love this dude he's what soul is about
Love me some JJ GREY! Makes my day to watch him on UTUBE. The drummers braking the bank also...
I grew up in Polk County Florida and now live in Mount Dora. A friend telling me about this band has been a true joy. Pure talent.
Yup. The real deal. Every time I see em live my mind is reblown, RUclips can’t do them justice. Thanks for everything JJ!
Every country, State, and county has a Lochloosa. Find it go there put some headphones on blaze a fatty and get back to reality.
Speaks to my soul, down deep...tears just rolling down my face.
When he sings " lord I need.." and the horns start, all the hair on my body stood up. So incredibly good.
Christopher Mitchell - I'm in New Zealand, and just found him 29/12/2019 - how I relate to your words!! Pray one day he comes to NZ................I can't get enough!! lol...xx
Literally JUST happened to me. Every hair on my body just stood up.
I feel this comment
That’s the point where you know you’ve found home man
Saw him for the first time last year in Las Vegas, I want more! Fantastic live performance, still same drive and heart!
This song is absolutely timeless!
I have loved it since the first time I ever heard it, I grew up in South Florida and I completely relate to every word!
But it is amazing to see how it brings everyone together the blues, soul, rock and roll, jazz bands, just everything it really is a thing of beauty!
Another thing about this recording this video is JJ Gray did not miss a single beat a single fret nothing it was literally perfect! 🙏
That Harmonica.....made my Soul Quiver....I teared up with chills because that beautiful ensemble invoked raw emotion. Music is Amazing💕 (2.21.2020)
Just to have him whisper in my ear....oh that voice :)
The places he could take you
Love it!!!
A song that brings you back to what's real, what's important. A little water, lots of sky and peace in your heart
I lived in Fla. back in the late 80s only for a short time. Been around this great country. One constant is true "home is where your heart is". This song expresses that completely.
Thank you for your music...
He is so talented. I had the honor of seeing him a few months ago in Ashville. Phenomenal live show. Love the horns and harp.
anytime you see a guy walk up to the mic smiling with a harmonica in his hand, you know shits about to get real. this is the truth....
Hb9
This is the best harmonica playing out of any other performance of this song on RUclips. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great song but he nailed it here!
Fucking post of the year. Smile, harmonica, and mic. Nuff said.
You are dead on!!
J W so true
Man I just learned about this dude about. 1 yr ago.i could grab m a beverage of choice. .sit back & sing with this kind of music
My husband says to say to these artists: F-en Awesomestist, Greatestest Unexpecteded WOW, I beleive I have ever, ever heard!!! Thoroughly , thoroughly , enjoyed every , vocal, keyboard, wind instrument, drums, guitar, harp and singer. This song went to the core of my being ,.......... to know that such a place DOES EXIST!!

Portola California in that Lil meadow... ❤
What a masterpiece! I can not get enough! Bravo, Encore and, "Aye!"
this man sung this sing with so much love that me and a buddy got on the bikes and rode down to see what this was that would make him sing about it like he did...best road trip I've ever had
This is the Best God Dam blues song, I’ve heard in 25 yrs.
GOD DAM I LOVE THIS SONG.
I've seen JJGREY twice in NOLA . and going to see him in Texas H.O.B. in September . A buddy turned me on to him and I sware he's truly amazing. Anybody that can make u jump up and dance in one song then bring tears to ur eyes in another is a bad ass to me
This man is a legend beyond measures! Can never go wrong with some Jj
He’s a gift for all of us to enjoy and appreciate. God sees us and He knows what we need so He gave us J.J. God is good
I am blessed by his music. I understand the entire sentiment about our natural resources being overrun by human development. God Bless our Beautiful Nation.
Leaves me in tears at my best listening site, ankle deep on a skiathos beach in greece that's my loochloosa - outstanding JJ you are the man - from johnny davis
One of the best soul-mans I have ever heard.
First time i've heard this song i was involved with such awesome feelin' and energy!!!
This song has touched way deep down in my heart, by the first note till the last. Nowadays outstanding songs are pretty valuable to whoever has a deep love with real art!
This is made with soul and quite visceral voice, It becomes this art even more perfect!
It takes me away from my town in São Paulo's countryside and moves me to this magic place, somewhere in Florida. Someday, God willin' I'll be out there to enjoy this magic place too.
This is a masterpiece, thank u ! God bless y'all JJ Gray and Mofro!
Hugs from Brasil! 🇧🇷
This song means so much to me. Lochloosa isn’t just a lake, to me it’s a state of mind. So happy I have found my Lochloosa
This song touches every fiber of my soul!!!!
I get goose bumps to the harmonica. I've seen him several times and can't wait till the next.
I transplanted to Florida 3 years ago and this guy makes me feel like I grew up here. That harp in the beginning and his emotion just reverberates through your soul.
Heart him two years ago. What a really fantastic musician and singer. Got now nearly every song from him. Since two years JJ Grey has another really edicted follower - me
I love this song so much and I don't even listen to this type of music that much. I happened to hear it on NPR a few years back and it just stuck with me. It just has so much passion and soul. I love his speech before this song. He seems like such a real, down to earth guy. "I don't go there to escape reality, I go there to GET to reality."
I haven't listened to music for years but i heard JJ Grey last night on House of Cards and had to look it up. Spent the next EIGHT HOURS with his music on, slept, then it's been on again all day.
I know what you mean about him seeming down to Earth. And his lyrics are so honest and real.
A treasure!!
i can sit and listen to this , the river and the sun is shining down for hrs . my life flipped upside down over night and it soothes my soul and keeps me focused and gives me meaning for my tomorrow ..........without it and who knows where the hell id be
Just happened up on JJ Grey. Love his music and especially "Lochloosa" reminds me of my little hometown of Central South Carolina.
I have said this song could be named "Lake Murray"
Just stumbled across these guys-they rock!Go about 1500 miles west to the deep canyon oasis of the Devils River, Texas that is my home and and this song fits like a glove except we don’t have mosquitoes. Vanishing America must be protected! Wild and Free Forever!!!
I live an hour from Lochloosa and I can tell you this song stabs me in the heart. She's goin away..
