Souled American
“For years, only a few people could say they’d seen Souled American. Last year they emerged from long seclusion and entranced a select few audiences with a type of music that only they play: that only they ~can~ play. The chance to see them do what only they can do should not be missed by anyone who cherishes the true alchemy of music.” John Darnielle (Mountain Goats)
“During their years releasing music — a prolific six-album run between 1988 and 1996 — the Chicago band played a part in developing the burgeoning alt-country scene and eventually steered their sound in an ambient direction, earning praise from everyone from Jim O’Rourke to Counting Crows in the process.” STEREOGUM
“Chicago country cult legends Souled American have been laying down their unique, bleary-eyed brand of twangy rock since the mid-’80s…” BROOKLYN VEGAN
“…one of the most daring, original, and interesting bands ever.” https://www.jimlaczkowski.net/catchup/
