Interview with Robert Finley

We had the pleasure of interviewing Robert Finley over Zoom video!  “The greatest living soul singer,” Robert Finley, has released his career defining new album on Easy Eye Sound. A soulful masterpiece written by Finley and co-written by Dan Auerbach, it features blues veterans and studio legends who have worked with everyone from Elvis to Wilson Pickett.  Finley appeared on NPR’s Morning Edition today, discussing his new record and remarkable story with Vince Pearson. The piece reflected on the power of perseverance and how Finley has found musical success, after many decades of hard work. He debuted a new music video for the track, “Make Me Feel Alright,” which premiered exclusively with SPIN.com, who also interviewed Finley about his new album and proclaimed it, “one of the finest albums of the year.” Reflecting on the track, Finley stated, “‘Make Me Feel Alright’ is about not looking for love, but for companionship. Sometimes you want to find someone to have a good time without judgment or baggage. There’s nothing like going to a club and having a good time. You meet someone, have a fun night and then go your separate ways with your own problems at the end of the night but still experience love in the moment.” Sharecropper’s Son received high praise from tastemaker media including Rolling Stone who described Finley's vocals as the perfect combination of “weathered and expressive.”  Mojo described the album as “pure Hill Country hypnotic boogie.” AVClub claimed, “Finely has a voice so distinctive and compelling that it can’t be ignored.” GRAMMY.com discussed how Finley defies genres stating, “Finley's mesmerizing voice... defies neat categories.” Under The Radar said, “There’s an undeniable element of authenticity with Finley’s music and ‘Country Boy’ is no exception.”  Before his rapid ascent, Finley overcame a divorce, house fires, an automobile accident, and losing his sight in his 60s, to finally pursue his musical dream and become an overnight soul sensation. Since the release of his Dan Auerbach produced debut, Goin’ Platinum, he’s toured the world, received critical acclaim, and even made the semi finals of America’s Got Talent.  His latest album tells his life’s story and is rooted in the classic sounds of southern soul, country, rhythm and blues. With songwriting by Finley, Auerbach, Bobby Wood, and contributions from respected country songwriter Pat McLaughlin, Sharecropper’s Son also features an all star band including guitar expertise from Auerbach himself, Kenny Brown, Russ Pahl and Billy Sanford. They are joined by other notables: Bobby Wood, Gene Chrisman, Nick Movshon, Eric Deaton, Dave Roe and Sam Bacco.  The fire behind the conflagrant performances on Sharecropper’s Son is ignited by Finley, who has cited a range of vocal influences, including Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Elvis, James Brown and The Beatles, all inspiring his genre diverse and formidable vocal approach, which take centre stage and encapsulate his remarkable life. Finley’s tales of pain and joy uplift as he shares his belief that you are never too young to dream and never too old to live. Sharecropper’s Son is out now on Easy Eye Sound. Exclusive sunrise yellow vinyl, available from the Easy Eye Sound store only. We want to hear from you!

If I Got It (Your Love Brought It)

The new single from Aaron Frazer’s soon-to-be-released Dan Aeurbach-produced debut album introducing... is an uptempo 70's influenced soul track featuring piano, wurlitzer, plucking bass and a full horns arrangement. 

The album was recorded at Auerbach’s studio in Nashville and features a crew of heavy session players — including members of the Memphis Boys (who played on Dusty Springfield’s “Son of A Preacher Man” and Aretha Franklin’s “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman”), symphony percussionist Sam Bacco, and members of the Daptone–Big Crown Records universe.

Frazer said of the song’s origins:

I was at the DMV in Sacramento and above the commercial vehicles desk I noticed a wall full of toy trucks, and at the top a teamsters slogan from the 1950s: ‘IF YOU GOT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT.’ I thought, damn that’s a hot line. Jotted it down, and when I brought it up with Dan, the song felt like it was writing itself. It’s a song of gratitude for who/whatever it is in your life that brings you happiness, grounding, and self improvement.

Newspaper Club — 11 Creative Uses of Newsprint

Newspapers aren’t just for news anymore. In fact, newsprint is one of the most versatile formats out there – it can feel familiar and experimental, sophisticated and DIY, all at once. And it’s a pretty no-fuss process as far as printing goes. If the next wave of publishing is going to be “fast, cheap and fun”, as AIGA predicts, then newspapers might just be the way forward. We asked our friends at Newspaper Club to round up some of the most creative examples they’ve printed. From portfolios to cookbooks to zines – scroll on to see some of the many uses for newsprint.

Year in Refuse An anti-portfolio of sorts, Year in Refuse is a collection of illustrator Alex Westgate’s rejected concepts – ideas “too weird, unsettling or abstract” to be published. Westgate describes his style as “both optimistic and irreverent” and here he deftly toes that line, with cheery characters in awkward situations (posing nude atop a towering hamburger, for example). He includes 21 discarded illustrations, and we love them all. Proof that one person’s trash is another’s treasure.

Newspaper of the Month. XXL: The Extra Extra Large Sights of Portland Portland, Oregon has a pretty illustrious history of zine publishing. So when Travel Portland launched a campaign to promote the city, they stuck with a tried-and- tested format, collaborating with local artists on a series of zines to introduce visitors to the unique sights of Portland. This one features supersized landmarks, shot by photographer Danielle Delph. It’s printed on a broadsheet – our biggest format – to give readers a sense of the scale. It’s tough to do justice to a 25-foot- long loaf of sliced bread in print, but it still makes a great double-page spread.

Camberwell Cookbook Highlighting the diverse cuisines of London’s Camberwell district, this community publication, funded by the Camberwell Arts charity, features recipes like Cypriot stew and Nigerian porridge. Crowd-sourced from Camberwell’s local restaurants, cafes and residents, it dishes up a “world of eating from one eclectic neighbourhood.”

The Chimpington Post MailChimp sends more than 1 billion emails every day, but when it came to their recruiting materials, they chose newsprint. “No glossy, uninspired pamphlets would come from us,” says designer Jane Song. “We would create an entire newspaper ‘bout that MailChimp life. And we would make it awesome.” The Chimpington Post is the result – a tabloid newspaper that feels distinctly of the digital age, with a bold, gradient cover and playful ads page, promoting perks like coffee hour (donuts included!) and MailChimp University.

Washed Out Colouring Zine To support Mental Health Awareness Week, illustrator Jamie Kirk created Washed Out, a newsprint colouring zine that encourages readers to “explore creativity and eliminate stress.” Kirk joined forces with contributors from around the world, including French illustrator Jean Jullien, Spanish illustrators Brosmind and Portland-based artist Sam Larson. Proceeds from the newspaper support mental health charities.

Naomi Harris Portfolio Photographer Naomi Harris teamed up with designer Noah Phillips to showcase her favourite images in a considered, playful portfolio. “We wanted to bring the same curiosity and sense of humour from the photos into the layouts and headlines, playing off the characters Naomi’s captured,” says Phillips. Every page is a delight, but we especially love the above spread of Abel Nabor Campos, known as “the lucha-doughnut man of East LA”, shot by Harris for Lucky Peach.

Presse Libre Exhibition For his Presse Libre exhibition, Paris-based artist Yannis Perez printed a series of tabloid newspapers with “nothing to read but colours.” Perez pinned up fresh newspapers every day of the exhibition. The sheets could be “left to gravity, extended or contracted” – altering the texture of the installation and revealing new dynamics between paper and light each time.

Nada News Offering relief from the headlines, artist Pepe Medina handed out copies of Nada News to commuters in Madrid in 2011. As they say, no news is good news. Bogsch and Bacco Poster Geneva-based designers Bogsch & Bacco show how to make an impression with your end-of- year mailer. “For seasons greetings, we like to be a little crazy and insert some humour to offset the traditional messages,” they told us. In this case, the mailer folds out into a surreal poster of a mermaid (from the obscure 1948 film Miranda) – it’s printed, fittingly, on salmon newsprint.

Refinery29 Design Calendar When Isabel Castillo Guijarro and Elliot Salazar, both designers at lifestyle publisher Refinery29, found out there wouldn’t be a company calendar this year, they took matters into their own hands. Repurposing unpublished work from their fellow designers, they turned a broadsheet newspaper into special R29 Design calendar – each month also doubling as a pull-out poster.

Rally and Belong Rally & Belong is a timely project from Anisha Sachar, a student at the California College of the Arts. It’s her concept for a music festival celebrating black history, unity and activism in R&B music – her simple, graphic newspaper doubles as a poster. “Nowadays, tickets and maps for festivals are often digital, so I wanted to create a tangible keepsake,” she says.

Newspaper Club gives you the tools to turn whatever you want into newsprint, quickly and easily. Just upload your design, choose your format and boom – you’ve made a newspaper. Want to give it a try? Request a free sample to get started.
