Search - Grits :: As the World Grits

Completely unknown & completely deserving of attention

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Although almost unknown outside of the Washington DC area, Grits were a very popular local attraction during their decade of life. They never released any material during their existence, but this live release, which showcases their carefully constructed compositions juxtaposed with long jamming solos is a fine introduction to their work. Using a basic framework of keyboards, guitar, bass & drums [but with the guitarist doubling on viola, & the basist doubling on violin], & with surprisingly strong vocal harmonies, Grits created something unusual, appealing & quite timeless that deserves to be known by a large number of people than the few [like me!] who remember them from their DC days of 20 years ago!"
