Blue-eyed soul virtuoso Eli "Paperboy" Reed may have grown up in Massachusetts, but he conveys the heart-wrenching emotion of Southern predecessors such as Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. In a session with host David Dye, Reed and his band play songs from his debut album, Roll With You.
Reed, along with his seven-piece band True Loves, recently shared a tour with alt-pop band Say Anything. While the combination may seem odd, Reed says that soul music breaks all barriers, because its purpose is to "make people feel something."
