Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Luaka Bop
Release Date: 21st March

A real family affair as Mum belts out the fiercest soul vocal we've heard in years with her daughters backing her with harmonies only a blood can bond with a father and sons band playing the meanest family funk. 

• All the kids in the family have day jobs:
• Willie Jr. drives a forklift in Tupelo
• Abel Aquirius drives hospital patients to their appointments
• Anjessica works in customer care for an insurance company
• Toni is an elementary school teacher
• Deborah does hair (and she’s available if you’re ever in West Point)
• Annie runs a clothing store on Main Street called Caldwell Fashions, which has been a beloved staple for women dressing for COGIC (Church Of God In Christ) convocations and anniversaries since the ‘80s. Caldwell Fashions is open five days a week & by appt.
• Can’t Lose My (Soul) was produced by Ahmed Gallab, aka the artist Sinkane.
• Gallab said of the Caldwells: “Hearing Annie’s voice for the first time was like witnessing something rare, like you’re in the presence of a force of nature that’s been here long before you. And working with Deborah was like tapping into pure fire. She’s feisty, no doubt! The tough love that these girls gave each other. Calling each other out when one wasn’t in key. It was pretty funny.”

ANNIE & THE CALDWELLS are a family that plays a powerful disco soul from West Point, Mississippi, led by Annie Caldwell (who sings) and her husband of the last fifty years Willie Joe Caldwell, Sr. (who plays guitar).

Annie is backed by daughters Deborah Caldwell Moore [Pronounced de-BOR-ah, or BORA, not debra, you white ass] and Anjessica Caldwell and goddaughter Toni Rivers; their eldest son Willie Jr. is on the bass and youngest son Abel Aquirius is on the drums.

Can’t Lose My (Soul) is their new album 40 years in the making … and it’s already gotten rave reviews in MOJO and The Guardian even before it’s been announced.
