LJ Echols: Soul Blues Pioneer Drops Two New Singles and Announces Upcoming EP

Bassfield, Mississippi – August 2024 – Soul blues artist LJ Echols, a native of Bassfield, Mississippi, and a seasoned musician with roots in gospel, has just released two new singles: “Let’s Get Drunk” and “Tell The Truth”. These tracks continue to showcase LJ’s unique style and storytelling, which are drawn from personal life lessons and the experiences of those around him.

With a career spanning over two decades, LJ Echols has released five albums and established himself as a prominent figure in the soul blues scene. Having started his journey playing drums at the age of 6, and later forming a family gospel group, LJ eventually transitioned into soul blues in 2003. By blending his deep gospel roots with modern soul blues, he has created a sound that is distinctly his own, one that listeners can’t help but recognize.

LJ’s journey has not been without its challenges. The loss of his father, who taught him everything about music, was the hardest obstacle he’s faced. But through music, LJ has found a way to heal and express himself. His songs speak to life’s trials and tribulations, making them relatable and heartfelt.

In January 2025, LJ is set to release a new EP, giving fans even more music to enjoy. His passion for music is fueled by his upbringing and the desire to leave a mark on the industry with his unique sound.

“I want people to know that my sound and style are different from everyone else,” says LJ.“I write my music based on life lessons, and I hope people can feel the authenticity in every song.”

With influences from artists like James Taylor and a dream collaboration with Baby Face, LJ is continuing to evolve as an artist. Whether it’s spending time in the studio, performing on the road, or enjoying moments with his family, LJ’s love for music is unwavering.

Despite his success, LJ remains humble, attributing his passion and drive to his deep faith and love for God.

For those new to his music, now is the perfect time to dive into LJ’s growing discography and experience the soulful sounds that have made him a standout in the blues world.
