about

The Mighty Soul Drivers second album features seven new original tunes along with four carefully chosen covers.

"On 'I’ll Carry You Home', New England's Mighty Soul Drivers deliver the real, deep soul thang. Robert Orsi’s vocals cut to the bone — and go straight to the heart. A standout is soul queen Betty Harris’s 'Cry To Me', where the band honors their long association with her. On a series of finely-chosen covers and finely-tuned originals, they weave a spell that is Southern/Urban with just the right touch of voodoo and grit."

-- Christine Ohlman, Saturday Night Live Band vocalist and noted musicologist

“There aren’t many bands out there that do what The Mighty Soul Drivers do. They understand that true Soul music requires a deep commitment. With their dynamic approach, their thick Memphis grooves, and their fun and funky style, it’s clear that they have made that commitment. It pays off for the listener, and the dancers, and those of us that need a little extra help to make it through the night.”

— Dave Keller, 3-time BMA nominee, Soul/Blues singer/guitarist/songwriter

"The new release by The Mighty Soul Drivers is a groove lover's dream! The Drivers’ smooth and silky vocals ride a deep pocket that carries these songs from start to finish like my ’71 Buick Riviera used to float me down the road. Well done!"

-- Tas Cru, 2018 BMA nominee, 2021 Blues Blast Awards and Independent Blues Awards nominee

"The Mighty Soul Drivers have been bringing their soulful, charismatic energy to appreciative audiences since 2012. 'I'll Carry You Home' celebrates 10 years with a collection of songs that even the most reticent dancer will not be able to resist. Deep soul, upbeat grooves, expert musicality and searing vocals all position The Mighty Soul Drivers to capture not just the ears but the hearts of new fans everywhere with 'I'll Carry You Home'."

-- Ali Kaufman, host of Morning Mojo on WCNI, staff writer Sound Waves Magazine

"I enjoyed this album. The band is tight and all the individual players are outstanding. Made me want to go see them live sometime. Nice mix of originals and covers."

-- Billy Price, 2016 Blues Music Award (BMA) Winner and multiple BMA nominee
