Product Description
Album Description
Resurrected follows Jacksoul's vivacious debut, Absolute, in 1996 and his 2000 Juno Award winning sophomore release, Sleepless. Sonically, the new CD represents continued growth for a singer and band that started out practicing in a converted chicken coup. Lead vocalist and front man Haydain Neale is fervent about the new album: "Soul music. Straight-up, raw dawg, takin' no prisoners, goin' for your throat, tear-jerkin, ass shakin', sweet and low down, fried chicken and dumplings with a side of grease, mess around and hurt yourself Soul Music."
From the Label
"We just locked ourselves in the studio for a couple weeks and cranked out 100% soul records, just like they used to make back in the day. These are not the times to mess around with halfway, neo, quasi type music, 'cause that's not the world we live in. Reality isn't neo-hard, it's not pseudobeautiful... it tends be intensely inspiring, or overly violent or totally heartbreaking... sometimes all at once. It's time for some real deal, full on Soul Music."
"It's cool to look back on the early songs and gigs and see that we've all done well in the industry as individual players and as a group. This album is not just a collection of great songs to get your head bobbin' and your hands beating on the steering wheel, it's a celebration of all the best soul music that inspired us to start playing in the first place."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A little more funky...,
By Jarin (Vancouver,Can ada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resurrected (Audio CD)
I have been a huge jacksoul fan since they got their start way back in 1996...while their first CD took a little time to grow on me, I adored Sleepless as soon as I bought it, and was still listening to it on a regular basis up until the release of their new album. Resurrected is another high quality offering from jacksoul, and i wouldn't expect less from them. While it is generally a little more upbeat than Sleepless(musically, not necessarily content-wise, there are some serious issues to be dealt with on this disc), it is extremely soulful and amazing. I love Haydain Neale's voice, and some of the tracks (especially Getting It On!!!! so fabulous) I could listen to over and over. I bought this album the day it came out and haven't stopped listening to it yet. While a couple of the tracks stand out more than others, it is definitely a cohesive album that hangs together quite well and there is never a dull moment. I can't wait until they (hopefully) come to town to promote it so I can have the complete jacksoul experience...don't delay, go buy this CD!

Unbelievable cd,

I have been looking, no hunting for this cd for 2 years! They are a Canadian group (don't laugh) They are no longer together. I understand the lead singer is dead. What a shame. His voice and song writting skills are in a class by themselves. If you like r&b, Al Green, Marvin Gay this one is for you.
