My Soul Hurts Every Day is a record born out of grit, truth, and a longing for something better. It’s a blues-funk-gospel fusion album that stares hard at the world as it is, while refusing to stop dreaming of what it could be. Each track is raw and unfiltered, carrying the pulse of stomping Delta blues, the fire of gospel revival, the swagger of funk, and the cry of soul.
The title track, “My Soul Hurts Every Day,” is a haunting lament — a Delta blues hymn for an age worn thin by hate and division. “Hiding in Plain Sight” picks up that thread, a hypnotic chant about dreamers and innovators fighting to break through the shadows of greed and control. “The Digital Life” flips the perspective, letting a robot’s voice sing out against misinformation and fear, reminding us that humans and machines are stronger together.
“I Want My Freedom Back” kicks with modern funk and hip-hop swagger, a demand for truth and liberation in the face of manipulation and control. “The Lord Can Wait” brings a playful gospel-blues energy, a joyful anthem about seizing life’s moments and living without fear. “Desire” leans into smoky Chicago blues, exploring the storm of passion and longing that consumes the human heart.
Science and truth take center stage in “Periodic Blues,” a gritty blues-rock call to protect knowledge for the good of all humankind. The fire burns hotter in “Take That Small Man Energy and Shove It,” a funk-soul powerhouse that takes aim at judgment, greed, and ego with humor and raw defiance. And the record closes with “Sunrise Above the Clouds” — a gospel-soaked blues ballad that lifts the listener up, celebrating life, love, and the beauty of every breath.
My Soul Hurts Every Day is more than an album — it’s a cry from the soul, a stomp in the dirt, a prayer, a shout, and a call to rise. It’s music for dark days and bright mornings, for the broken and the hopeful, for anyone who believes the blues still has the power to heal and to fight.
