Product Details

Boston-bred and steeped in classic Southern soul, Reed has spent his career proving that American roots music doesn't sort neatly into boxes. Merle Haggard understood that too, writing working-class hurt and hard-won resilience into songs that transcended their country trappings long before anyone called it a crossover. Reed's voice, one of the most raw and unaffected in contemporary soul, turns out to be a natural fit for that repertoire.


Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release. 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.
