2023 collection. Eli Paperboy Reed's Hits And Misses is a remastered collection of rarities, originals, & covers, featuring Eli's spin on Motörhead's InchThe Ace of Spades.Inch Eli takes Motorhead's hard rock classic and reimagines it as a soul revival with Hammond organ, brass horns, electric guitar, Eli's signature vocal wails and a backbeat that creates a new take on the song that is no less powerful than the original. Hits And Misses also includes Eli's noirish R&B take on Steely Dan's 1972 hit InchDo It AgainInch that brings the original song back in time 30 years and a cover of Latimore's 1974 hit InchLet's Straighten It Out,Inch showcasing a vocal intensity that's not quite as present in the nearly spoken word original. In addition to covers, Eli Paperboy Reed's original, IDKWYCTD (I Came to Play) is an anthemic party starter. This high-energy track is featured in Disney's Marvel comic series, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. The album also includes covers of Bob Dylan's, InchTo Be Alone With You,Inch Merle Haggard's InchI'm Gonna Break Every Heart I Can,Inch and more.

Eli Paperboy Reed has returned to the studio and craft-ed a new album that is at once back-to-basics and startlingly current. Album opener InchHold OutInch kicks things off at full-volume, embodying the classic gospel ethos that everything's going to work out fine if you just keep the faith. It's a notion that turns up throughout the record, from the title track InchMy Way HomeInch to InchTomorrow's Not PromisedInch to InchMovin',Inch and it reflects Reed's resilient spirit in the face of disappointment. Elsewhere on the album, he nods to the music's church roots, singing of fear of the devil on InchThe Strangest ThingInch and damnation on InchCut Ya DownInch (the only non-original on the record and a song he learned performing with Boston's Silver Leaf Gospel Singers, founded in 1945). InchWhat Have We DoneInch is something of a secular hymn for the environment, and InchI'd Rather Be AloneInch serves as a meditation on following your own path to salvation. MOJO called the Boston-via-Mississippi singer the Inchking of rhythm & soul,Inch while Rolling Stone hailed his Inchclassic soul and horn-heavy R&B soaked with the blues,Inch and NPR raved that Inchhe conveys the heart-wrenching emotion of Southern predecessors such as Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding.Inch My Way Home represents a return to the sonic character that Reed's career began with, but it does more than that It captures the essence of his sound. A sound that, over everything else, prizes feeling, energy, and, yes, Soul.

With Incha voice that brings together the yelp of Georgie Fame, the honey of Sam Cooke and the crackle of Curtis Mayfield,Inch (The Guardian), Roll With You showcases Reed's unmistakable soul-infused style and features a gospel-tinged mix of sweaty, up-tempo numbers and aching, lovelorn ballads.
