'A gospel masterpiece to drag you out of despair.' - The GuardianAnnie & The Caldwells are a family from Mississippi whose powerful disco soul sound stirs church congregations and dance club revellers alike. Their new album, Can't Lose My (Soul), on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label is 40 years in the making and has drawn international acclaim, from Sir Elton John insisting 'you must get the album!' to a 5-star review in The Guardian hailing the album as a 'masterpiece'.
Headed by their mother, Ms Annie Caldwell, the songs on Can't Lose My (Soul) explore heavy themes of spirituality, struggle, and redemption, all informed by their real-life experiences as an intergenerational family run by women, while propelled by vibrant, body-moving music. In these passionate performances, their personal stories transcend into a state of universal parable and salvation-driven ecstasy, resulting in the kind of communal uplift any preacher or DJ could envy.
Praise for Annie & The Caldwells
'The most exciting, most dynamic family of faith imaginable. Their rhythm section (dad and two sons) would give the Family Stone a run for its money; the front line (mum and daughters) have unquenchable sass and spirituality.' - MOJO
'…carries a life's worth of experience that is joyous to hear.' - The Observer
'A sermon on the power of prayer in the face of a medical emergency.' - The Times
'…transcends time, place, and-on occasion-even the most unshakable atheism.' - PopMatters
