FRESH TRACK: Eddie 9V – ‘Beg, Borrow and Steal’
“Every great soul record I’ve heard starts out with drums” says Eddie 9V. “Beg, Borrow and Steal” is a pleading soul jaunt, drenched in a Memphis horn arrangement, Wurlitzer and blistering organ tones that show the soulful spearhead of Eddie 9V.
“One take, we started in and heard the engineer yell, ‘Wait, not ready!’ in our headphones, but we didn’t stop,” he says. “The compressors were smacking, and faders were all array, but that’s how we make records.”
“Beg, Borrow and Steal”is off Capricorn, Eddie 9V’s new album, out now on Ruf Records.
