About this product
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 the of his new record, 99 Cent Dreams, Eli Paperboy Reed begins his second decade as an artist much in the same way he began his first in love with soul music. Reed is ten years wiser this time around, writing with the kind of freewheeling confidence. The result is the finest of his career. Cut at the legendary Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN, and produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price), 99 Cent Dreams is exuberant, a celebration of life delivered by an ecstatic messenger. Reeds arrangements on the album are lean, filtering vintage R&B, soul, and gospel through the heart of a modern songwriter. His stunning voice remains front and center but his performances have matured, a sign perhaps of the newfound perspective he's gained with fatherhood. Fueled by love and hope, this is a collection that, despite it's moments of loneliness and pain, ultimately insists on seeing the bigger picture, on recognizing each and every day for the gift that it is.

ELI REED / DOWN EVERY ROAD Eli 'Paperboy' Reed pays homage to country legend Merle Haggard by putting a soulful spin on some classic tunes. Recorded in Brooklyn with longtime collaborator Vince Chiarito (Black Pumas, Charles Bradley), Reed taps into all the heartache of Haggard's iconic catalog and channels it into explosive, high-octane performances that blur the lines of genre, geography, and race to reveal the common, distinctly American threads tying them all together.
