Product Description
Put on Roll With You, the new album from Boston-based sou band Eli Paperboy Reed & The True Loves, and chances are you ll immediately feel the urge to either dance or cry. ''That first response to a record is the most important,'' says frontman Eli Reed. ''If a record comes on and makes you want
to dance right away, then you re doing a good job. If a record comes on and makes you want to cry right away, you re also doing a good job. I think this album does both.'' Roll With You
is a vital, gospel-tinged mix of sweaty, up-tempo numbers and aching, lovelorn ballads that connect instantly thanks to the passion of this young performer and his equally young band. The True Loves may employ classic soul stylings but they make the music their own by performing it with the youthful abandon
that only a group of seven talented guys in their 20s can muster.

 paperboy delivers July 24, 2008
one of the better entries in the retro-soul genre!blue-eyed soul-shmoo eyed shmoul! like mitch ryder and the detroit wheels before them,this is a great soul band!if you heard a great rock band that had black people in it,you wouldn't call it brown-eyed rock! do the boom boom!
Soul Heralds Reed July 21, 2008
Picked this minor gem up a week or so ago and have now played it about 10 times. I give it 5 stars here but 4 1/2 would be a truer indication. That's not to say there's anything wrong with this album; it's a ripper. However it does lack overall musical originality. All but two tracks are originals by the Paperboy (or co-writes) and are pretty good songs in the traditional soul/R&B style of yesteryear (think Otis and Aretha etc). The two covers are superb. "Carry Your Love" is the swinginest, grooviest, danceablest! song to hit the platter since Amy "Bottleshop" Winehouse's "Rehab". If you can't dance (or even tap the old feet) to this you're either brain dead or a rap fan (or both). Even the Pope, who is rockin' them down under at the moment, might do a little shimmy to this track.
Other pluses for the album are the sound, the arrangements and the playing; all exceptional. Throw in a great retro cover and Eli's passionate voice and you have a super little package which will take you back to the 60's Stax albums you used to play at dance parties.
If you liked the sound of 60's Soul and R&B, then this is for you. If not, then buy it for someone who did.

Classic '60's Stax/Motown influenced R&B, but oh so fresh in its own way. The retro soundscape is perfect. If you love the great soul records of the '60's, here's one for you. You'd never guess it was recorded in the 21st century.
Classic R&B, it is May 10, 2008

Paperboy delivers again with this, his second CD. You won't find any 21st century low-down soul that is better than this. Soul-stirring stuff! Check it out and get it.
