About this item

Annie & The Caldwells are a family that plays a powerful disco soul from West Point, Mississippi, led by Annie Caldwell (who sings) and her husband of the last fifty years Willie Joe Caldwell, Sr. (who plays guitar).

Annie is backed by daughters Deborah Caldwell Moore [Pronounced de-BOR-ah, or BORA, not debra, you white ass] and Anjessica Caldwell and goddaughter Toni Rivers; their eldest son Willie Jr. is on the bass and youngest son Abel Aquirius is on the drums.

'Can’t Lose My (Soul)' is their new album 40 years in the making … and it’s already gotten rave reviews in MOJO and The Guardian even before it’s been announced.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Bold, bright soul music that's thoughtful but jubilant, full of orchestral swells and huge, powerful vocals. While the music is decidedly different from the equally celebratory William Onyeabor LP, also on Luaka Bop, they definitely share an uplifting air. A wonderfully rich, hugely enjoyable listen.
