The Soul Seekers (Self-titled Album)

The Soul Seekers (with the full name "The Famous Original Soul Seekers Spiritual Singers of New Orleans,") is a gospel group based in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States from 1939 to the 1960s. The new group of Soul Seekers (California) were organized by producer "Baby Dubb," and signed to MY BLOCK RECORDS, INC. by Jaha Johnson. They carry on the Holy Ghost quartet tradition with pride. "It's All God!" They have won Stellar Awards and have released two albums. Soul Seekers,in 2005 and Soul Seekers II, 2011. There are 9 singers in the new group, and songwriter, Lenny Lawson, is the son of Original Soul Seekers' Larry Lawson. The current single is "It's All God," featuring Pastor Marvin L. Winans, but other strong tracks on SS II include "Come On Jesus" and "Take Your Burdens." "Come On Jesus" sounds like the early 1960s quartet in an outing dressed up for the new millennium. Similarly, "Take Your Burdens" features tight, exquisite and soulful harmonies sung to a solitary electric guitar accompaniment until halfway through, when bass, drums and a warbling B3 enter the picture. By bringing back the electric 1960s proto-soul sound on these two tracks, the Soul Seekers sound more traditional than many traditional groups on the gospel highway these days. The Soul Seekers Legacy continues and the Throne of David is secure!
