JJ Grey & Mofro - 99 Shades of Crazy (Live from The Kate TV on PBS)

JJ Grey & Mofro perform ""99 Shades of Crazy"" in front of a live audience for The Kate on PBS. Originally aired on 6/14/19.

LYRICS:
I can't agree to disagree
Fighting like I'm fighting for life
They're only words but they cut like a blade
Swinging wide with all of my might

Ah yeah, I guess it's all of that coffee, that's got my mind in a whirl
I'm still cussing and bitching and there ain't nobody here

Oh yeah, you don't have to holler I hear you
I'm standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I'm 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Pour another drink, make it a double for me
Maybe I can drink this away
It's never fun when they pull out the gun
Beat you black and blue, boy
You gotta pay, you gotta pay

Oh, where the hell am I? I hope at least I had fun
I'm stumbling through New Orleans oh, to the rising sun
Oh yeah, you don't have to holler I hear you
I'm standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I'm 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Lord have mercy on me
Noventa nueva tonos de loco

I need some peace, just some relief
From this voice, killing me
You stare at me, and you glare at me
All this pain it's all the same, it's all insane
(you see)

Is this really happening or did I make it all up?
I'm bound for Chattahoochee on a turnip truck

Oh yeah, you don't have to holler I hear you
I'm standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I'm 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Ah you're crazy you're crazy
Hold my feet, feet to the fire
You hold my feet to the fire
I never said I was down with you

Just had my soul rejuvenated last night during the JJ Grey & Mofro concert in Wilmington, NC! Went to see Whiskey Meyers and had NEVER heard of these guys. Left a huge fan. They were amazing live. So much emotion during Hallelujah that JJ broke down and left the stage for a moment to compose himself. Probably the most authentic musical experience I've witnessed in person. Do yourself a favor, see them in person.

[danathompson]

Love, love, love this man and his music. I guess it's all of that coffee, got my mind in a whirl, Lord yeah....

Dude in the background with the glasses on has a smile that's looks so satisfying to everytime I hear a JJGREY AND MOFRO song and/or watch a video of them performing it makes me happy and makes my heart smile ♥️♥️♥️♥️

From the days of playing greasy local juke joints to headlining major festivals, JJ Grey remains an unfettered, blissful performer, singing with a blue-collared spirit over the bone-deep grooves of his compositions. His presence before an audience is something startling and immediate, at times a funk rave-up, other times a sort of mass-absolution for the mortal weaknesses that make him and his audience human. When you see JJ Grey and his band Mofro live—and you truly, absolutely must—the man is fearless.

Onstage, Grey delivers his songs with compassion and a relentless honesty, but perhaps not until Ol’ Glory has a studio record captured the fierceness and intimacy that defines a Grey live performance. “I wanted that crucial lived-in feel, ” Grey says of Ol’ Glory, and here he hits his mark. On the new album, Grey and his current Mofro lineup offer grace and groove in equal measure, with an easygoing quality to the production that makes those beautiful muscular drum-breaks sound as though the band has set up in your living room. Grey's most treasured albums include Otis Redding's In Person at the Whisky a Go Go and Jerry Reed's greatest hits, and the singer once told me that he grew up “wanting to be Jerry Reed but with less of a country, more of a soul thing.” With Ol’ Glory, Grey does his idols proud. It's a country record where the stories are all part of one great mystery; it's a blues record with one foot in the church; it's a Memphis soul record that takes place in the country. ~
