Eddie 9V brings a fresh, fiery twist to Southern soul, blues, rock, and funk. Following the success of 2022's Capricorn, the Georgia-born artist returns with Saratoga (Nov 22, 2024, Ruf Records), co-written with his brother Lane Kelly. Showcasing Eddie's evolving songwriting, Saratoga blends vintage soul, sharp lyricism, and dynamic grooves. With standout tracks like Halo, Truckee, and a bold take on Mac DeMarco's Chamber of Reflection, the album cements Eddie's rise as one of today's most exciting roots musicians. * * * * * Paul McDonald's voice is immediately recognizable and impossible to ignore. Often compared to legends like Rod Stewart and Bob Dylan, the poetic story-driven narratives and deeply catchy hooks in his music are delivered by a raspy yet refined voice reminiscent of another era that demands to be heard right now. He pulls off the rare feat of being a poet, visual artist, songwriter, adamant performer, and a powerful vocalist.
