George Soule'
'Take A Ride' Now available on itunes!
..
George Soule' is a pivotal character in the history of Southern songwriters who carved an indelible mark in the rich tradition of American music. His distinct, matter-of-fact writing style encompasses a pop sensibility that captures the listener whether it's deep soul ballads, floor filling funk or slow-burning country. Like some of his contemporaries - Dan Penn, Eddie Hinton and Terry Woodford - Soule' is renown for his work in Muscle Shoals during the prime of the soul era.
George Soule's multi-faceted career in music has spanned almost forty years. After cutting country demos in Nashville, Soule' moved to Jackson, Mississippi, to work for the newly opened Malaco Studios. After selling his first few Malaco cuts (produced by Soule’ and Tom Couch) into national distribution, George pitched some songs to Jerry Wexler who was in Muscle Shoals recording with Jimmy Johnson and the rest of the Swampers. Wexler used demos Soule' solicited to cut records by Judy Clay, Arthur Conley and Lulu. George relocated to Muscle Shoals to work at the legendary 3614 Jackson Hwy. Studio, where he wrote, produced, and even coordinated a hit release by Katie Love on the MSS imprint. Other artists that recorded his songs (mostly co-written with Terry Woodford and other writers) during those years include: Mavis Staples, the Patterson Twins, Bobby Womack, Archie Bell & the Drells, Dee Dee Warwick, and Brook Benton. He then moved to FAME and wrote for Candi Staton and Odia Coates, reviewed and recorded demos, played on sessions, and sang his first national hit with "Get Involved". In later years, this guttural call to arms would become a Northern Soul classic.
George Soule' currently resides in the southern USA. In early 2006, George returned to the studio to record, after a 20-year hiatus, his debut album 'Take A Ride' was released on Zane Records October 16th 2006. George is back!

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
