Eli "Paperboy" Reed & The Trueloves

Eli Paperboy Reed The Satisfier

Eli Paperboy Reed It's Easier

Eli has long been a member of the Southern Soul list and I feel bad that I have not posted anything about him and his band The Trueloves before on the blog. But now that his vast talent is getting more exposure I thought I'd better rectify the lack of posts!!!

First up - get a load of the tracks above and if you want to hear more then drop over to his MySpace.

I just got this bulletin through from him as well:

Our first national tour kicks off this Thursday June 14th at Johnny D's Uptown Lounge in Somerville, Ma. We are joined on the bill (as well as in New York and Chicago) by Soul Legend Roscoe Robinson. It should be an amazing show so please come out and wish us well on the tour!
