notes

RebbeSoul crafts an energetic sound ...packs an eclectic armament ...from Jewish and Arabic music...RebbeSoul forges a danceable fusion defying easy categorization - Popmatters

Soulful mission: RebbeSoul dedicates his long-awaited CD, Change the World With a Sound, to peace in the Middle East and throughout the world. This fusion of traditional Hebrew melodies and rock makes for a stylish Middle-Eastern groove. RebbeSoul's goal to foster unity through music is aided by a stellar backup band that includes... Deep Den of the Jerry Garcia band and Steve Carter of Spearhead. Shalom. - Halifax Herald

Despite the efforts of groups such as the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars and the Klezmatics, the term "Jewish music" still evokes an image that's more Fiddler on the Roof than MTV. Los Angeles-based RebbeSoul may be the artist to change that. The first song on this CD (his fifth) is a Lubavich melody attributed to King David, but RebbeSoul's sizzling rock guitar and tight rapping by Prophet X would have the king shaking his thing. Other songs range from the dub feel of "Kaddish" to the folk-rocky "Shalom" and "Rock of Ages." Perhaps my favorite is "Eliyahu," with a stripped-down funk groove, soulful Hebrew vocals by Lynn Rose, and some tasty hand drumming. - SpinTheGlobe.com/ KAOS

It's a thick and soupy blend of Middle-Eastern percussion, growling rock guitar, plucked balalaika and funk bass that builds to a perfect simmer... "Kaddish",... a meditative instrumental piece over recordings of Kaddish prayers from all around the globe, to powerful effect. - Splendid

    author: J Stevens

    Great Rebbe Soul CD. bought it for a friend for his birthday and he loved it; the artist Blue (Indigo Soulstice) turned me on to Rebbe Soul. Thanks Blue.

    author: Rhiannon

    This CD is absolutely wonderful. I have been listening to it continually. Every song is a beautiful work of art. Great music!

  • Excellent!! My family & I have been listening to Bruce's Music for years!
    author: Cindy

    Excellent Music. I have turned dozens of people on to this phonomenal Jewish Music. My daughter has been listening to Rebbe Soul since she is 7 and sings right along. So refreshing, as A parent, I am so glad to hear my daughter singing hip Jewish music... rather than Hip Hop!!

  • Favorite of all his CD's
    author: Susan Shenhav

    I have always liked his work, and when I had a chance to meet to artist and he told me this was his favorite ( I always liked fring of blue)I took the time to listen to it with out distraction ( i,e, driving)I have to say I agree, I have enjoyed listening to his art develop at each album. Good luck with your next endevors, and I will make sure to add them to my list

  • It's all I play these days !!!
    author: Shaylah

    I'm not Jewish but when I heard Kol Dodi I wanted to convert!!! My kids are wild about it, too. We crank it up and dance and pray at the same time.

  • an experience that deepens spiritual appreciation
    author: rb

    I love Rebbe soul's interpretation of traditional songs showing that these lyrics do create a connection through the generations.

  • this is a great CD!
    author: Karen

    this is a great CD! i love the treatment of traditional songs which are brought to life in a new way, in a way that re-enlivens their original spark...Avinu is an instant transport to one's deepest, most soulful spiritual experiences and my favorite cut (right now) but then i'll put Kol Dodi, Kaddish or other selections on repeat and listen over and over. it's so sweet the way all the diverse elements here are blended into something new and original... i hope for future releases in this vein...it's like a spark of Shlomo Carlebach and a great spirit of hopefulness is brought to life again.

  • This takes artistic creativity to a new level!
    author: Doug Dowen

    Absolutely fantastic! An incredibly innovative piece of work.

  • Buy this!
    author: Teresa

    If for no other reason than to scare the high school kid in the car next to you with the bass. Dance music with a deeper meaning.

  • this cd rocks!!
    author: dkm

    RebbeSoul has make Jewish music fun again; I give this CD as a gift to Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids so they will be turned on to cool Jewish music, and know that there is a place to turn for soulful, insiprational listening within our own culture. RebbeSoul has created a gift for us all with this music, and we can enjoy traditional songs from our heritage in a contemporary, meaningful context! Todah Robah Bruce!!

  • What the **** is this stuff.
    author: ---

    Bruce, RebbeSoul emanates a creative, innovative energy of the soul that is a rare and precious find for seekers of inspiration and Light. Powerful, awe-inspiring melodies, niggunin, played with passion and heart.

  • author: Daniel Fox

    Loved it. Buying this is a Mitzvah! It is now my favorite CD to listen to on Shabbot.

  • Powerful, soulful and dynamic!
    author: Marty Farber

    Fresh, innovative and exploding. This CD will keep you dancing, singing and shouting. An exciting slant on Jewish music. A CD for everyone who wants not only to hear but to feel great music. Enjoy...

  • Bruce is simply amazing... in him lives the true soul of a Rebbe
    author: Ythsta

    If you are looking for a CD compilation to move your soul, then this is it. These renditions of the sacred and traditional with essence of the original intention artfully captured and conveyed just shine here. Avinu has always been a favorite; here it pulled at the genetic memory of my soul to light me from within. Kaddish brought the tears as only it can do. This is Jewish music as it was intended to be played from the heart speaking to the soul.
