"intriguing and fortuitous... Grey's a songwriter with a sharp wit
and a knack for skewering the hypocrites, jive politicians and carpetbaggers who litter
the landscape. The MOFRO vibe travels freely among swamp funk, blues, rock and soul,
and does so with a certain down-and-dirty swagger that's as real as it is appealing."
