New-Noise.net Album Review

Listening to Boston soul band Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed And The True Loves makes you want to burst into song. Oozing with the warm, rich tones of classic Motown numbers, this a timeless record which takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, from the heady euphoria of opening track ‘Stake Your Claim’ or ‘(Doin’ The) Boom Boom’ - which have more than just a hint of James Brown about them, to the heartbreaking ‘It’s Easier’ complete with cracked vocals and slow, melancholy harmonies. Deep, sweaty bass-lines, mingle with the anguished, swaggering vocals of Eli Reed and like all the greatest soul records, ‘Roll With You’ fuses together elements of gospel, R&B and blues with a loud, brash brass section to produce an album of tracks performed with lustful and passioned abandon.
