Named for a small town in North Florida not far from where Grey grew up, Olustee runs deep with the kind of place-specific feeling that can't be faked. Grey has spent decades honing this particular alchemy of swamp funk, Southern soul, and lived-in blues on stages from tiny clubs to festival main stages, and the loyalty of his following reflects it. Olustee is a masterpiece of soul-shaking music. JJ’s deep Southern roots and skill as a storyteller shine through, whether he’s rocking with gospel-tent fervor or slowly winding his raspy voice around a lyric of heartbreak and loss. It’s an aggressively groove-driven record fueled by JJ’s gritty vocals and funk-infused guitar playing. Tracklist 1. The Sea (4:45) 2. Top Of The World (3:30) 3. On A Breeze (4:35) 4.
