ELI "PAPERBOY" REED !!!

Last night, I went to see 24-year-old blue-eyed soul sensation ELI “PAPERBOY” REED in Ghent and was totally blown away by Reed’s ultra-dynamic performance! Backed by his super-tight backing band The True Loves, Reed delivered a monster set of high-energy R&B and sizzling southern soul ballads. Most of the songs were of course from his fabulous album 'Roll With You' but the super-enthusiastic crowd also got to hear a brilliant cover of The Ohio Untouchables’ astonishingly beautiful “I’m Tired”. Believe it or not, but on stage Eli “Paperboy” Reed channels the ghosts of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke and is nothing short of spectacular! One of the best shows I’ve seen in the last couple of years!

You can watch a complete show from July 16th, 2008 here. It's rather courteous compared to yesterday's show but still very good!
