Country/Reggae Legends Souled American Are Ready To Blow Minds Again
Bandcamp Daily: Souled American ambled onto the late ‘80s Chicago scene as the first—and easily the most artistically successful—country and reggae hybrid to roll down the pike. Beginning with 1988’s Fe, the group—a quartet at the time—recorded their first four albums for Rough Trade over the course of a fertile two years. All six of their releases are imbued with haunted beauty conveyed through enigmatic lyrics and remarkable musicianship, even as half their lineup drifted away, leaving Chris Grigoroff and Joe Adducci to carry on alone. After releasing Notes Campfire in 1996, the band has languished in the background for nearly three decades, dropping only a couple of tracks and performing rather less than sporadically. Entropy, thy name is Souled American.
