Come and get it

Another modern soul gem, this from Eli Paperboy Reed and his band the True Loves, their latest CD offering. Anyone who has seen them on Jools Holland will know that this is blue eyed soul at its best. Starting with the first track, a happy bouncy song “Young Girl” to the last a full on Funk Shout and Screamer, reminiscent of James Brown “Explosion.” Between these two tracks is a plethora of typical 60’s soul, which could easily come from the Stax stable. It’s quite amazing that this is a 2010 release. My favourite tracks are the mid tempo “Come and get it” lots of screaming, “Time will tell” a nice slow one which at certain parts of it sound like Otis Redding, and of course the 100mph dancer “Explosion.” It’s all good really and it’s such a shame that he never performed at V this year. He also tries to do a good impersonation of one of the world’s best footballers on the cover of the CD.

I will be watching out for when he is next over here from America, for a chance to see him live.
