    With 'Little Black Flies,' there’s a sense of an artist coming full circle, and at the same time coming of age, the kid who once loitered outside the clubs of Atlanta now leading some of Georgia’s greatest players into the studio. Indeed, these recordings gave much-needed catharsis to the musicians who created them. But perhaps Eddie’s ultimate aim is to pass that spirit on to everyone who hears the record. “It makes my day to please someone after they work all day,” he says. “My job is to make them smile and let the music make them forget – or remember.”

about

Eddie says, “Late night thoughts of things getting better. You can imagine the cars and city noises with this one. Solid locked groove provided with top-class harmonies. Sounds like blues-based soul.”

lyrics

The ground it shakes
The hills they breathe
The sun it burns
Both of my knees

Bound and determined
To find a meaning within
While the earth keeps on turning
All around again

It’s 3AM in Chicago
Street lights they guide me to a brand-new tomorrow
It’s 3AM in Chicago

A house in the ghetto
No lights on inside
A house in the suburbs
You will hear no children cry

But who built the statues?
That look down upon us
And who prints the money?
Who gets to control us?

It’s 3AM in Chicago
Street lights they guide me to a brand new tomorrow
It’s 3AM in Chicago

Eddie 9V Atlanta, Georgia

Eddie 9V has acted on instinct all his life. At the age of 15, this longtime soul artist turned away from the path of college and jobs to go all guns blazing on the roots and blues circuit of his native Atlanta, Georgia.

Now, released in 2021, 'Little Black Flies' is the 25-year-old's most impulsive move yet, which catches everything that went down at a session that felt more like a party. ... more
