Paul Thorn Ain't Love Strange CD

 Nice CD
For the most part all tunes are in the blues vein (singer/songwriter blues-rock style), and his voice matches the style very well. Good story teller. For someone from the south and this style of music, you know it’s got to be good with songs about trailer parks and plastic pink lawn flamingos (‘Burn Down the Trailer Park’). Only reason I can’t rate it 4 or 5 stars is because it appears to contain the use of a drum machine throughout a lot of the CD (if not on every song). Anybody that wants to be taken as a serious artist/musician needs to use real instruments and musicians and NOT electronic gadgets (leave that garbage for the musician wannabes (rappers, etc)). The cheesy sounding drum machine does actually enhance one song – ‘Fabio & Liberace’, but everywhere else it is used detracts. Haven’t heard any subsequent CDs, but hopefully he looses the drum machine and uses real drums on later CDs.

 Funky soulful southern vibe
Always wanted to pick up some music by Paul and finally did. Wry lyrics backed by southern fried soul.
