notes

Black Angel plays soul music with a modern lyrical twist. Taken from classic influences like William Bell, Mitty Collier, Laura Lee, to more well-known classic soul artists like Al Green, Etta James, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Bobby Womack.... the list is endless.

Black Angel is From Portland OR, where they have established a faithful following honing their powerful live shows. Black Angel is fronted by two lead singers: Tahoe Jackson and JR Pella. Two seasoned professionals but they still have the exuberance of little kids singing into a hairbrush while the music is blaring from the portable AM radio. This exuberance was later molded into the passionate songwriting of Pella/Jackson. Part sad blues songs mixed with modern irony, the songs on their new release BITTER SUITE are filled with moments of humor, rage, and love, but blended with the elements of classic soul. Imagine Otis Redding on Paxil, Etta James after therapy, Stevie Wonder without the Zen. One listen to Bitter Suite and you will see that Black Angel is the real deal.

  • THE REAL DEAL!!!

    LOVED THOSE VOCALS!!!!!! THEY ROCK!!!

  • Best Soul in the Universe

    First saw this band at a festival in Seattle, and spent a good 6 months looking for the Disc. Finally found it at CDBaby, and never been happier. Black Angel is a mix of soul, rock, and traditional percussion, with dueling, highly-trained vocals.

  • the real soul deal
    author: Ian Tomb

    Black Angel is one of the very few current bands whom accurately capture, and then powerfully expand upon, classic soul influences from the 60's and early 70's. The studio tracks are polished and passionate, while the live tracks are a faithful portrayal of each lead singers' furious vocal gifts. "War" is a soul classic.
