The nothing that is known about the Young Souls corresponds perfectly to the band’s brief existence, during which it never even eked out a single release. Their bid to leave a recorded legacy was left to producer/manager Earl Wiley, who commissioned a demo session to capture several of his own compositions. Stripped down to their bare bones, the Young Souls burn brilliant over minimal arrangements. “Quit Waiting For Tomorrow To Come” is a midtempo stepper guaranteed to instantly earn its spot in discerning deejay play boxes, while “Puppet On A String” fulfills the tasteful group harmony ballad prerequisite.
