Today’s Backtrack is a time-warp of sorts. Not wanted them to get buried underneath the next batch of music I get, I took the opportunity to listen to some CDs I got last month. Out popped this white-ass dude Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed & The True Loves. You would be forgiven for assuming Eli Reed & The True Loves were a re-release from The Sixities (thats with a capital T and S). Really, you would.
You’d be forgiven. But, you’d still be wrong.
Eli Reed is a 24-year-old from Massachusetts, in the United States, and he and the True Loves got soul. Proper soul. This is James Brown-, funky-, feel it in your belly-, reaching deep down into your guts-type soul. If you love the old school (and I mean old old school) sound, you absolutely positively cannot pass this by without a listen.
