MUSIC: Eli "Paperboy" Reed

Description

Reed was one of the very first of the new wave of singers and songwriters to embrace unabashedly soulful music and he’s still doing it his way, two decades on. He’s celebrating that milestone with a 20th anniversary reissue of the album Walkin’ and Talkin’ from 2005, this time on vinyl. Listening back to those songs and my 21 year-old self he says, is a strange sensation. I can hear the wheels turning, the speed picking up, taking me in the direction I wanted to go, but I didn’t know where it would lead me or how long it might take to get there. Twenty years on, Reed is still singing, playing and writing his heart out, heading towards the next stop.
