 Ain't love strange
Submitted on: 2008-11-10 |

If you are into listening to Paul Thorn, this album is for you. The titile track sold me on the rest of the album - Whenever it comes on you break into a smile. This album is the closest in style to "Hammer and Nail". The single "Where was I" hits close to home for everyone that has ever lost a love.
I love this one! |

| I heard "Fabio and Liberace" on the Houston Pacifica Radio station which caused be to look up Paul Thorn. I downloaded this album from Amazon and loved it, I shared it with my wife and she loved it. He's a great songwriter with a great sense of humor. If you like hard country blues with an attitude you'll love Paul Thorn. |

Absolutely the best

| Saw Paul Thorn at the Austin City Limits Music Festival and knew that I had to buy this man's albums. Bought three, but this is the most awesome album of all. Think he needs more angst in his life now to continue to create this same caliber of music. He is alternately angry in love, then sorrowful with love. The best tracks on the album are "Ain't love strange", "Burn down the trailer park"-a scary song but hilarious, "Fabio & Liberace",a tale of unusual attraction......I love this car, and "Where was I"...when you stopped loving me. Both rocking, bluesy, this man can sing if nothing else. Buy and you will not regret. I took this to work where the people I work with never heard nor had interest in this type of music and all wanted to know where to buy a copy. |

Cold Iced Tea And A Piece Of Pie

I think Paul Thorn is a hugely talented guy, and of all his albums, this is my favorite. Paul is known for oddball, quirky songs that are straightforward yet twisted. This CD, more than his others, shows his inner personality as a bit of a refined rebel, not afraid to gently mock situations that most songwriters would steer well clear of.
Of all the songs on the CD, my easy favorite (in fact my favorite Thorn song of all time) is "Burn Down the Trailer Park" a hilarious yet powerful tale of infidelity with the landlord involving not only home repairs but light refreshments. His ability to set the audience up for one rhyme scheme, then deliver another much funnier punch line ("grass" does not rhyme with "pie") all in the midst of an electrifying performance is delightful, and is not fully appreciated until you have seen him in concert. I most recently saw him open for Mark Knopfler, and the crowd roared with laughter throughout this song. Not only is he a great musician, he is a great showman, and I strongly recommend seeing him in concert if you have the opportunity.
This CD is full of pop, rock, country, blues, and comedy, and should not be missed. It genuinely is one of the rare CDs that I play with great regularity. Buy this one today, you will not be disappointed!

Undiscovered and Unbelievable

| I have been listening to, "Aint Love Strange," for about 3 months along with, "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand." This is a true talent that has largely been undiscovered. One whose beautiful and simple phrasing along with equally simply but poignently-perfect melodies create such an incredible musical combination. Whether happy, sad, amused or beguiled, the listener is going to come away from this album emotionally involved and wanting to hear more. Among the most accessable and evocative songs on the album, "Where Was I," and "I have a good day," are must listens for anyone. And, the sense of humor on "Burn down the trailer park," and "Ain't Love Strange," are just terrific. In all, this is one great album from one great artist. If you haven't heard of him, take my advice and take a listen. |
