Description:
Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories - and you'll find twelve of them on new studio album Saratoga. It's a record that will thrill both newcomers and fans who have trailed Eddie since the start, showcasing his fresh, fiery spin on Southern soul, blues, rock and funk, with his signature wit and sharp observations of modern America placing him squarely in the here-and-now. "I do think it's a wonderful road trip album," he nods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie 9V deliver an instant classic
Brilliant album from start to finish from a rapidly emerging band that defy categorization.Many describe Eddie 9V as blues/blues rock and sure there are elements of the blues in the band’s sounds but there is much more to it than that.Eddie 9V rock it, they flood the music with soul and it is super funky. The title track is an absolute killer and hooks you right in and won’t let go. Eddie and his band cut a serious groove that is infectious.Superb live band too and the guys are just Uber cool.
3.0 out of 5 stars Eddie leaves the blues behind for southern soul
I loved Eddie’s (Wayne Brooks) first two albums which were guitar-led raucous raw blues but his last album 2023’s ‘Capricorn’ was more southern soul and this new one also sees Eddie (currently on tour in Europe – including Britain) firmly in soul territory. The title track is a pleasant enough mid-tempo groove with some nice guitar and ‘Halo’ is like subdued Prince, while ‘Love Moves Slow’ is pure Al Green. ‘Cry Like a River’ is a pleading soul ballad with Eddie’s emotive vocals – this album definitely showcases his vocals rather than his guitar – and some great brass both ensemble and tenor breaks and ‘Red River’ is laid back with slide guitar and electric piano – a bit like JJ Cale.The funky but restrained ‘Delta’ has Eddie on drums and ‘Wasp Weather’ is a bit more raw and bluesy and reminded me of G. Love. The melodic ‘Truckee’ also has slide guitar and is a cross between blues and country but with ‘Love You All the Way Down’ we’re back to the Al Green/Prince hybrid soul with superb interplay between Eddie’s vocals and the backing and even a bit of lead guitar. ‘Chamber of Reflection’ is a nod to modern R&B, while ‘The Road to Nowhere’ is a weird throwback – a dramatic, cheesy 1950’s country and western ballad with ringing guitar chords and sickly backing vocals. The younger 'Eddie' was mentored by Tinsley Ellis who apparently advised him to keep the name The Wayne Brooks Blues Band but ‘Eddie’ didn’t want to be restricted to blues and with this album you can definitely see why. Although I personally do miss his earlier raw blues, tracks like ‘Cry Like a River’ and especially ‘Love You All the Way Down’ are very accomplished but not necessarily for blues fans.

Eddie 9V is the Truth!!!
I've been saying this for years now that Eddie 9V is one of the most important guitarists of this generation! With Saratoga he proves that not only can he play guitar amazingly but he also is an incredible soul songwriter and this album proves it. The songs have soul long lasting soul! He has a finesse about him that is undeniable. Songs like Halo, Saratoga and many others on this album are just incredible. You'll be singing them almost immediately and when you see him live, it will change your life. He's one of the nicest guys in the business and now he's finally getting some recognition that he deserves. Do yourself a favor and go by Saratoga.
One of my favorites.
This is one of my favorite recordings This year. I saw this on a blues review site and picked it up. I would say it's more soulful with a blues feel. I'm thinking a little like Markus King, but with less guitar soloing. Not that it needs more solo's. Every song is great, and deep in the groove.
