| | Description: | Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories â?? and youâ??ll find twelve of them on new studio album Saratoga, released 22nd November 2024 on the fabled Ruf label. Itâ??s a record that will thrill both newcomers and fans who have trailed Eddie since the start, showcasing his fresh, fiery spin on Southern soul, blues, rock and funk, with his signature wit and sharp observations of modern America placing him squarely in the here-and-now. â??I do think itâ??s a wonderful road trip album,â? he nods.
Eddie 9V has powered up. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local stage, the Georgia-born bandleader announced himself as an artist to watch. But in the last few meteoric years, Eddieâ??s music has crossed oceans and airwaves, transcending his cult-hero status to become a beacon for fans of real music everywhere. â??Eddie 9V is something else,â? wrote the UKâ??s Classic Rock. â??A man who genuinely inhabits golden-era American roots, playing the most instinctive blues youâ??ll hear all year.â?
Check out the gig listings and youâ??ll find this rising star playing a bigger club every time he blows through town. Scan the charts and youâ??ll find his most recent album, 2022â??s Capricorn, locking horns with the giants of rock â??nâ?? roll. â??Capricorn debuted at #1 and that was a cool feeling for a week, until Bonnie Raitt kicked us off,â? reflects Eddie with a smile. â??But hey, thatâ??s a cool story to be able to sayâ?Śâ?
From the start, Eddieâ??s output pricked up ears, with 2019â??s Left My Soul In Memphis dubbed â??fresh and life-affirmingâ? by Rock & Blues Muse and the chaotic free-for-all of 2021â??s Little Black Flies praised by Classic Rock as â??like having all your best mates in the speakersâ?. In 2023, he got his best reviews yet for Capricorn, a record tracked at the near-mythical Macon studio of the same name, that led The Guardian and NMEâ??s Henry Yates to declare: â??As an artist, he sounds fully chargedâ?.
But the great artists evolve, and in both its songcraft and execution, Saratoga finds Eddie painting with more colours from his palette. â??I was shooting for a more Americana-type album this time, less blues songs and solos and more focusing on the songwriting,â? he explains of the eleven originals co-written with his brother, the much-respected Southern musician, Lane Kelly. Unlike the anarchy of earlier albums, meanwhile, the
sessions mostly saw the multi-instrumentalist siblings hunkered down at their own Echo Deco Studio in Atlanta, self-producing the new tracks with Patrick Meese and inviting guest players to supply horns, fiddle and lap steel. â??It was definitely more me and my brother in our home studio recording everything. Thereâ??s a lot of guests, for sure, but it was mainly overdubbing. We did the songs Saratoga, Delta and Halo at Crown Lanes Studio in Denver and it was nice to take a break, walk outside, see the mountains, feel the fresh air. At our studio, itâ??s just muggy with mosquitoes. But sometimes itâ??s good to not have distractions.â?
Likewise, the new songs of Saratoga deserve nothing less than your full attention. Eddieâ??s latest album announces his new groove with the crisp, purposeful beats of the opening title track, an instant favourite that gets under your skin with its almost disco-style harmonies and joust of horns and slide guitar. As Eddie says: â??That song is about being in a lonely tiny town that feels impossible to escape.â?
Halo struts from the speakers on Eddieâ??s falsetto howl, before the lush yearning of Love Moves Slow (co-written by Spencer Pope) brings vintage soul into the modern age. â??We got high and did shrooms and camped on the Truckee River in California,â? he explains of the inspiration â?? the wistful Tides. Cry Like A River is another vintage soul song co-written by Spencer Pope. Red Riverâ??s reflective-yet-kinetic groove is flowing into the brittle riffs and spacey vocal of Delta marking another gearshift. Wasp Weather speaks to Eddieâ??s love of rapid-fire streams of consciousness. â??Thatâ??s my favourite lyrically â??cos I like spewing words that donâ??t make sense into songs. â??I got a big mud house that I canâ??t keep clean, itâ??s uselessâ?? â?? I love that line.â?
The album plays out in style with the trilling alt-folk of Truckee continuing with Love You All The Way Down. Eddie even slips in a brass-blasting take on Mac DeMarcoâ??s Chamber of Reflection, before bringing the record home with The Road To Nowhereâ??s shuddering, tremolo-drenched country lament, his trademark twang utterly transformed into a vintage croon.
Eddie 9V is right: this latest album takes us all over the musical and emotional map, while announcing that his recent career peaks are just the start. â??Capricorn was a big jump for us,â? he reflects. â??But Iâ??m already writing new songs, yâ??know?â? - This is eddie's third album for ruf capricorn little black flies saratoga"Saratoga" is the latest CD release from Eddie 9V, brought to you by Ruf Records.
