Description:
Eli "Paperboy" Reed, a Boston-via-Delta South soul singer who, with his band the True Loves, conquered both street corners and punk clubs with a mix of grooved-out rave-ups and slow-burning ballads. He draws his sound from Motown and Stax Records On his Roll With You, "Paperboy" delivers classic soul and horn-heavy R&B soaked with the blues of Muddy Waters and Howlin` Wolf. "Southern music is really where it`s at for me and it`s really defined my sound," Reed says. (Q-Division)
