We are excited to inform you that Jeffrey Halford and The Healers are releasing their new album, Soul Crusade, which will be available on all digital and streaming platforms today. We are grateful to some early bird media which already posted impressive online reviews.
Hooked on Music (DE)
“All in all, the album is a lot of fun from the first to the (unfortunately only) eleventh song and should absolutely appeal to every listener with a soft spot for good “handmade music”. Direct hit.”
American Songwriter Magazine (US)
“An erstwhile rocker and tireless troubadour, Jeffrey Halford shares all the qualities so essential to any heartland hero — desire, determination, and the ability to cast effortless hooks and compelling choruses at every turn. To his credit, Halford doesn’t overwhelm his listeners by coming across as overtly aggressive. As the title implies, Soul Crusade takes a more studious approach by stirring the sentiment with a seductive sway. The melodies are direct and distinct and given their subtle allure, it’s a combination of attitude and arrangement that informs the seductive appeal of the album overall.”
Just For Life Magazine (NL)
“Halford’s songs are characteristic. And that also applies to Soul Crusade, on which he constantly reinvents himself together with drummer Adam Rossi and bassist Mike Anderson, and a large number of guest musicians. We hear lingering country in Picture in My Mind, screaming slide guitar in the Devil, a touch of the gospel in Walk to The River, and acoustic country blues in Sinner Man. All brought with the personal signature of Jeffrey Halford.”
RootsTime (BE)
“American roots music is at its best when it’s pure, raw, and honest. Soul Crusade meets all three criteria and also turns out to be a record that will become more beautiful and impressive for a long time to come. Jeffrey Halford has worked his entire career towards this type of work, and it is a great pleasure to see a master working at the peak of his abilities.”
Keys and Chords (BE)
“With four European tours under his belt and his most recent album West Towards South, which even landed at number two on the Euro-Americana charts, it’s clear that Jeffrey Halford has a lot of inductions well beyond his Californian musical habitat.”
