Simple Soul is the fifth studio album by Eddi Reader released in the UK on 29 January 2001.
The album is a lot more stripped down than its predecessor, Angels and Electricity being predominantly folk and acoustic based. Many of the songs were co-written with longtime collaborator Boo Hewerdine.
The album came about when Reader wanted to try her new recording equipment mixed with friend and former Fairground Attraction drummer Roy Dodds' new equipment. Twenty-seven songs were recorded in Dodds' studio and whilst the recordings were originally only intended to be demos, Reader was so pleased with the results she decided to keep the intimate and personal sound.
The track "I Felt a Soul Move Through Me" was written about the recent loss of Reader's father.
