Souled American – Notes Campfire LP

Description

“For the first time this century, two missed masterpieces are coming available on vinyl. The bandSouled Americanformed in Chicago in 1986 and recorded a total of sixty-six songs between 1988 and 1996. Though not ever popular themselves, their evolving hybrid of roots/rock music heavily influenced many more popular bands to come, among themWilco,The Jayhawks,The Feelies,Califone,Counting Crows,The Mountain Goats, andCracker. Their records became legendary, unavailable for decades. Some got to the Internet in 2023. Their last two albumsFrozenandNotes Campfireare now re-issued in limited, hand-crafted, 30th Anniversary Editions with a fresh abundance of stories, technical information, musician credits, and cartoons that detail the unexpected origins surrounding these two early classics of ‘ambient Americana.’ These records sound at once both old and new with brilliant melodies and profound performances stacked in unusual patterns like soft-hued bricks.”
