TribLive Talks With Souled American

TribLive notes that Souled American has  “garnered praise from contemporaries like Jeff Tweedy (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo), John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats) and David Lowery (Cracker).” Yet, the band deflected in a recent interview with the site when asked about how influential they felt. According to Chris Grigeroff,
“Ah, I don’t know. I hear people say this, that or the other, but I don’t ever hear it in anybody. People play things and say these guys have been influenced. I don’t know. It didn’t sound like it to me, but that would be the idea, right?”

The conversation has a lot of good details about the band and why their new album Sanctions has come after a 30-year gap in their recorded output. Check that out here, and see Souled American on the road:
