WTF is Deep Soul anyway? Obscure micro genre or state of mind? Its presence is felt when lost love, emotional wreckage, and serious regret commingle on a in-the-red 45s from south of the Mason-Dixon. Secular gospel music, modern blues, unhinged country-R&B? Now you've hit a nerve.
The term was coined by English soul music enthusiast Dave Godin, who wrote: "Deep soul is the logical, natural and unfeigned successor to, and development of, the blues, the more sober and reflective side of life that develops when events have conspired to help it dawn on you that life isn’t always one big party."
On Eccentric Deep Soul, we shine the Numero spotlight on 13 artists operating on the fringe of this passionate brand of Black American music. From the pleading strains of George McGregor's "Temptation Is Hard To Fight" to Joey Gilmore's roadhouse piano beat ballad "Blind Man," the blood-curdling shrieks of Chuck & Mac's "Powerful Love" to Langston & French's call and response bridge burner "Tumbling Down," Eccentric Deep Soul has everything you need for your next divorce.
