Soul Revival

Welcome to the Soul Revival – where old school meets new school, and the only hall pass you’ll need is an appreciation for great music.  Sit back and enjoy soulful lessons from legends Chaka Khan and Ann Peebles as well as new artists Eli “Paperboy” Reed and Ryan Shaw. With songs that warm your heart, or break it, soul music is steeped in the traditions of gospel and R&B. This CD demonstrates that diversity thrives within this flourishing genre, but the common thread is unmistakable – it’s music with a passion.
