HITS AND MISSES

Description

Eli Paperboy Reed's Hits And Misses is a remastered collection of rarities, originals, and covers, featuring Eli's take on Motörhead's "The Ace of Spades." Eli transforms the classic hard rock song into a soulful revival with a Hammond organ, brass, electric guitar, Eli's signature vocal wails, and a backbeat that creates a new interpretation of the song that is no less powerful than the original. Hits And Misses also includes Eli's black R&B version of Steely Dan's 1972 hit "Do It Again," which brings the original song back in time by 30 years, and a cover of Latimore's 1974 hit "Let's Straighten It Out," showcasing a vocal intensity that is not as present in the almost spoken original. In addition to the covers, Eli Paperboy Reed's original, IDKWYCTD (I Came to Play), is a party-starting anthem. This high-energy track is featured in Disney's Marvel comic series, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. The album also includes covers of Bob Dylan's "To Be Alone With You," Merle Haggard's "I'm Gonna Break Every Heart I Can," and more.
