Review by Loren Gray

Lonely Without You Moanin’ For Molasses: A Bluesy Dive into Heartache and Sticky Sweetness Alright, let’s talk about Lonely Without You Moanin’ For Molasses by Jody Williams. Released in 1963 on Nike Records (nope, not the sneaker folks), this blues gem is like that old leather jacket you find at a thrift store—worn-in, soulful, and full of stories. Produced under the mysterious “A Colbert Production” banner, it feels like someone whispered, “Hey, let’s make something raw,” and they absolutely nailed it. Now, onto the tracks. The album kicks off with “Moanin’ For Molasses,” and holy smokes, does it slap? It’s got this slow-burn groove that crawls right into your brain. Imagine sitting on a creaky porch in Mississippi while sipping sweet tea—except there’s no tea, just molasses dripping everywhere. That sticky metaphor isn’t just clever wordplay; it’s exactly how Jody makes you feel. His guitar licks are sharp enough to cut glass but smooth enough to soothe a broken heart. You’ll remember this track because it’s impossible not to hum along—even if you’re humming slightly off-key. Then there’s “Lonely Without You,” which hits different. If “Moanin’ For Molasses” is sticky-sweet indulgence, this one’s straight-up emotional protein shakes for the soul. The lyrics hit hard without being over-the-top dramatic. It’s relatable AF—like when you text your ex late at night and delete it five times before hitting send. Jody wrote this himself, and you can tell he lived every dang word. There’s no flashy gimmick here, just pure blues honesty wrapped up in killer instrumentation. What sticks out most? These songs aren’t trying too hard. They don’t scream for attention—they whisper their pain, letting you lean in closer. And honestly, that’s what makes them unforgettable. So yeah, Lonely Without You Moanin’ For Molasses might’ve come out in ’63, but its vibe still resonates today. Maybe it’s the way Jody turns loneliness into art or how molasses becomes some kinda existential metaphor. Or maybe I’m just hungry now. Either way, give this record a spin—it’s like finding an unpolished diamond in a haystack of modern noise.
