Rough-hewn and youthfully-innocent, yet melodically-haunting and ingeniously produced, "Back Roads" blended a country-western lead vocal with a hip-hop chaser that combusted the southern soul status quo with its emotional power and authenticity---an eerie echo of Beyoncé's entrance into commercial country on the national stage. A subsequent remix with southern soul star Marcellus The Singer substituted a more soulful verse for the rap. Ironically---and possibly because it was such a mind-bending mixture of country, hip-hop and southern soul---Curt didn't put the original with Shawty Mac up for sale.
Of all the young, up-and-coming southern soul recording artists, FPJ owned 2024 with an astounding sequence of well-received singles including "2 20's," "Last Time," "Still With Her" and "Blues Paradise". But it was "Whatcha Know (About This)," the follow-up to his 2023 dance floor classic "Po' Me Up Some Mo'," that impressed the most. Reminiscent of Juvenile's devastating monochrome groove in "You're A Big Chief" ("Ha" Remix feat. Jay-Z) "Whatcha Know" was FPJ's most odds-defying accomplishment.
In a year populated with trail rides, cowboy boots and "daisy dukes," Stacii Adams went against the grain, delving into the deepest, most ageless well of traditional rhythm and blues for inspiration. With its unique melody, soul-stirring organ runs, female back-up fills and cathedral-like choruses, "I'll Beg" transported fans back to the glory days of Stax, and balancing like a golden surfer above the gorgeous waves of the instrumental track was Stacii's perfectly-calibrated and resounding lead vocal.
Twenty-five years ago, Sheba Potts-Wright's covers of "Slow Roll It" and "I Can Bag It Up" were frequently out-selling the originals by The Love Doctor and Nathaniel Kimble, and through a circuitous career she's recorded just enough to keep fans from forgetting her. In 2024, however, she returned with a vengeance, recording a string of noteworthy singles, none more solid and bluesy and tough-as-nails than "Ain't Got Time".
The singer who became famous in 2023 with her hit single "Southern Man" went rogue---all "country"---in 2024 with a stunning, acapella-like tour de force. Kang803 of King George fame contributed a steel-guitar-dominated soundtrack that matched Cecily Wilborn's vocal in its single-minded, brilliant clarity, setting the stage for the richest-toned vocal of Wilborn's upwardly-trending career.
This violin-drenched ballad evoked lying on one's back under a blue sky watching clouds scudding by, and Jeter Jones obliged with one of his most tender and intimate vocals ever. Employing every possible technique from call and response to double-tracking to double tracking with harmony, Jones deftly conjured a world made a paradise by the miracle of love.
Sounding ageless, the legendary Lenny Williams paired with southern soul's Blues Is Alright Tour-headlining diva, West Love, on a one-of-a-kind ballad written and produced by Stan Butler. The two meshed as if they had been singing and chumming together for years.
All you had to do was hear the dulcet moans and melisma in the opening eight bars to know this was a generational talent in a singing genealogy going all the way back to Dinah Washington's "What A Difference A Day Makes". And with its courageous yet seemingly effortless description of lesbian attraction, it was literally made for Daddy B. Nice's " best out-of-left-field" award category.
Like two sticks being rubbed together by a camper without matches, this particular track puffed and smoked until it burst into musical flame. No other artist came close to laying down the bluesy side of southern soul in 2024 like Mr. Arthur Young .
One of the most under-the-radar and quietly productive artists in the genre had another banner year in 2024 with the eyebrow-raising
We tend to think of the finest production as being technically slick, shiny and overpowering, but---as Tina Turner reminded us---a rough-hewn approach can cut even deeper. The originality of this record was off the charts. Off the charts! I don't think I've ever listened to a song more than I listened to "Back Roads" (the rap version), literally hundreds if not more than a thousand times, never tiring of its exhilarating blend of musical and black-cultural elements, struck in awe by its humbly-sourced inspiration. Yes, it is country, but it's cross-over country by a black soul man, and its soulfulness courses through every note and entertaining production motif.
Stan Butler's long-awaited third album assembled the greatest hits of his second decade while simultaneously chronicling his ascension from young and under-appreciated singer/songwriter to multi-million-viewed master of down-in-the-country anthems with riveting, voice-over narratives. Few southern soul albums have summed up an artist's career with such precision and authority.
At last, after two years of unforeseen takeover and absolute domination of the southern soul music scene, the mighty King George came down to earth, recording songs ("It's Over," "Can't Judge Nobody") that seemed almost ordinary in comparison with his incandescent hits of 2022 through 2023. In a distinct but little-noticed mutation, the new tunes arrived not so differently in artistic stature than the new work of his distinguished peers. One of those eminent rivals, Big Pokey Bear, didn't even bother to record anything, which---at least in the short term---did nothing to hinder his popularity, as Pokey's acclaimed stage show made him a virtual lock on southern soul's most acclaimed national circuit, the Blues Is Alright Tour. Another esteemed member of southern soul's elite and another mainstay of the tour, Tucka recorded steadily throughout the year but favored more introspective, low-key ballads ("Take It Slow," "Night On That Tequila," "Give It Up") that fell well short of his multi-million-viewed classic singles.
The careers of other members of southern soul's top echelon of artists---Sir Charles Jones, Nellie "Tiger" Travis, J-Wonn---maintained a holding pattern based as much on their storied histories as their current recording output, as well could be said of the still-living, baby-boomer legends---Theodis Ealey, Bobby Rush, Lenny Williams & Latimore.
Headlined by Jeter Jones, Avail Hollywood, L.J. Echols, The Jay Morris Group, T.K. Soul, Bigg Robb & Big Yayo, the tier of southern soul artists just below these nationally-famous luminaries could best be defined by their abilities to sell out stadiums and outdoor festivals across the black Deep South---the traditional "chitlin' circuit"---and that they did in record numbers (at least until the intolerably hot weather of late July and August). In addition, they were the major engines of the southern soul recording industry. Wendell B's passing (2023) continued to be as huge a loss as Bishop Bullwinkle's a few years prior, but despite hinting he would be otherwise, Jeter Jones was jaw-droppingly prolific, and in spite of the doubters L.J. Echols continued to prove his durability, while the Jay Morris Group persisted in confounding their critics by maintaining and enlarging their fan base. It was the hard-working productivity of this second-highest tier of top southern soul artists who primarily generated the most common lament of southern soul deejays in 2024: the "gap" between the haves and have-nots.
But wait.... If there was a breach between the haves and have-nots in 2024, why the talk of parity? Well...While the "blue-bloods" dominated the big-money venues, it was the emerging younger generation who captured the hearts of the fans as memorialized on the monthly charts and YouTube streams. And if you consider the history of popular music, this has always been the case: the wheel turning with new artists and new sounds replacing the old and familiar. The most prominent "new-blood" was West Love, who---propelled by her recent hit singles---surpassed Ms. Travis, Ms. Jody et.al. to claim the southern soul diva's throne. She even became the female fixture on the perennially male-dominated Blues Is Alright Tour, a major indicator of strong national interest.
The dominant new male performer was arguably balladeer Marcellus The Singer, whose every single and live performance drew interest and even top billing above stars with historically more cachet. Marcellus was seemingly everywhere, bolstering other young talents like Curt The Country Man with guest-artist stints. Moreover, other young artists like F.P.J., Young Guy & Mike Clark Jr. catapulted to southern soul stardom, performing songs that collected millions of YouTube views and leaving day jobs for their own headlining tours. Notched close behind were other up-and coming stars: Arthur Young, Ciddy Boi P, M. Cally, Coldrank, Lady Redtopp, Stacii Adams, J'Cenae, Derek "The Change Man" Smith, Summer Wolfe, P2K DaDiddy, Stan Butler, Magic One, Big Mel, Tonio Armani & B.J. Moodswing, among others.
Southern soul singers---which is to say African-American singers---had historically dabbled, gone back-and-forth, and even migrated like the great Ray Charles to world-wide fame via country music. But in spite of their roots in rural America, the two genres' stylistic differences had remained seemingly incompatible. Either you heard it on a country station or a rhythm & blues station, and if you were a black singer singing country, you had to make it in the (white) country market. That all changed in 2024, albeit not without the confusion and outcry that accompanies any tectonic musical shift, and the main reason was a young black singer named Cecily Wilborn.
Meanwhile, a much lesser-known, less industry-sophisticated singer named Curt The Country Man came to the attention of Daddy B. Nice via a YouTube video from late 2023. The song was "Back Roads," originally published under the name GMB Li Curt with assistance from the rapper ShawtyMac. Although infused with the soul and spirit of a southern soul singer, the vocal was stylistically pure, unadulterated country. The video, replete with horses and the kind of country scene that characterized dozens of popular, Jeter Jones, trailride-influenced song videos throughout the year, featured the cowboy-hatted Curt doing a perfect back flip out of the bed of a pickup truck onto a Mississippi-green pasture.
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't report 2024 was the year southern soul expanded its sexual boundaries for the first time since Peggy Scott-Adams' nationally-acclaimed, nineties' hit single "Bill" and its brief spate of imitators. As in "Bill," there was no political motive, no progressive theme, no "woke" agenda. And once again like the Jimmy Lewis-written "Bill," it came about purely organically---real life colliding with love.
