    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

    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!

      What he sings puts me right in my childhood, growing up with no ac, fishing for my lunch, one with nature.
      I will always love Florida for what it was, teaching me and providing for me every day.

      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.

    She's on my mind
    I swear it's ten thousand degrees in the shade
    Lord have mercy knows - how much I love it
    Every mosquito every rattlesnake
    Every cane break - everything
    Every alligator every black water swamp
    Every freshwater spring - everything
    All we need is one more damn developer
    Tearing her heart out
    All we need is one more Mickey Mouse
    Another golf course another country club
    Another gated community
    Lord I need her
    Lord I need her
    And she's slipping away
    If my grandfather could see her now
    He'd lay down and die
    Cause every minute every second every hour
    Every day - Lord she's slipping away
    Homesick but it's alright
    Lochloosa is on my mind
    She's on my mind..

    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 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 know what you mean about him seeming down to Earth. And his lyrics are so honest and real.
      A treasure!!

      Tammy, I cover you in prayer. Yes, I can relate. My daughter (27) suddenly passed away minutes after our morning phone call in Nov 2012. Music is my therapy also. You never get over it, but the grief does get a bit lighter when you learn that letting go doesn't mean losing him, it means loving yourself more.
