MOFRO: RECORD OF THE DECADE
Blackwater, which we originally announced as "the debut album from Jacksonville, Florida's best kept secret" has been named one of the Best of the Decade in Music
by amazon.com. It's up there with Beck, d'Angelo, White Stripes, Radiohead and the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack... and is one of the only records NOT released by a major label to make the cut.So it seems like it's time to come up with a new description. Um... how about "a Fog City classic"?
Haven't heard it yet? Don't know the meaning of "front porch soul"? Want to hear what it meant to special guest Robert Walter? Please, avoid the shame and embarrassment of having your friends find out - get your copy, and spread the word!

About Fog City
- Fog City Records specializes in music with fat tones and deep roots. We make records that have a sense of place, by working with musicians that sound unmistakably and indelibly like where they come from. We seek the last outposts of regional American flavor, and hope to inspire you to explore the possibilities beyond the monochromatic blight of pop culture. In our 10 year history, the road less traveled has led us from San Francisco to New Orleans to Austin to Shreveport to San Diego to Jacksonville and back again, and our jaw-dropping catalog now includes debut records from MOFRO, Galactic, Stanton Moore, Garage A Trois, Papa Mali, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Tim Bluhm and Etienne de Rocher.
