 Rating:  - Funk and stuffy ReviewersIt's quite simple... If you want something you can dance to or tap your foot to, then this is for you! If you want something light hearted, upbeat and funky then this is for you! If you like the upbeat songs from Al Green, Ray Charles, James Brown, and even the Blues Brothers, then this is for you! At under a tenner then it is well worth a buy and a listen to. Some of the tracks such as "Stake Your Claim" and "It's Easier" are among the best on the album and a perfect counter to the miserable British weather. If you are anally retentive and break songs down by focusing on particular brass assortments, pitch and tone of a singer's voice or the overall construction of a song, then this is NOT for you! If you feel that ... Read More: Rating: - THE GREAT SOUL is REBORN!!No matter how much I write, ELI is my new heroe, it sounds cheesy but if you like great music he will be yours too. And I warn you, the sound of this record CAN blow you in pieces. It mixes good old melody, funk and soul... makes you feel you are 30 or 40 years ago, today. I put on this record with a couple of friends and not a single person left without asking who this guy was, people were dancing and enjoying themselves and all thanks to the great ELI. It is the sound Motown today, this guy will reborn this genre for male artists. A TRUE SOUL GENIOUS DON'T MISS IT! Let the music play! Rating: - Soul TrainFunkin' good music that sparkles from the opening track to the last. If you have a hankering for soul and blues you should check out this album. The classic combination of horns and twangy guitar will have your foot tapping out the rythm. I'm sold. Rating:  - "Paperboy" doesn't deliverAt first listen one could be forgiven for thinking this is a 1960s Memphis blues band, newly recorded onto CD. Even the bold retro packaging design harks back to an earlier time. Twenty four year old Eli "Paperboy" Reed and his band The True Loves, present the big, brassy sound of early R&B. Comparisons with Sam Cooke, James Brown, Otis Reading and Curtis Mayfield abound, but sadly the songs aren't as commanding and seem out of context, lacking relevance in a modern setting. The CD is likeable and familiar on the first listen, but then becomes dull and predictable with the usual clichés of lovers lost, making the tracks indistinguishable. Unfortunately, with this album,the "Paperboy" just doesn't deliver. Rating: - Read all about it - The Paperboy delivers. . . !!!Fabulous fabulous album. My only criticism is that it could have been longer !! All these original songs are done in a retro style - one which sadly does not mean too much in the UK. For those music lovers who hark back to the blues/soul/R&B sounds of the 60s this album will be a breath of fresh air in amongst the normal dross that is all so often released. For those who do not hark back to those times well I hope that this release will make you check out some of the good old Stax/Atlantic stuff that is currently being reissued. Eli Reed is a new(ish) name to these shores but, on the strength of this, he should be massive. He has a real soul voice unlike the anodyne stuff too often peddled as soul these days Hopefully he'll ... Read More: |
