With an acoustic guitar strapped around his neck and shoulder, Randy Paul has earned himself a star status. With his bourbon and smoke voice, and natural ability to draw on your heart strings he has proven that he is for real, and that he is here to stay. With baritone bellows and warming lows, and a sweet falsetto that permeates the room, it's so easy to fall in love with his voice.Somehow Randy bridges the gap between songwriter and listener, allowing any and everyone to relate instantly to the lyrics and reflect them on their own lives. He will always give you substance and invites you to let him in as an artist and a friend.The debut album"Smoke & Bourbon" is exactly his life on CD. Anyone who has ever hurt, been hurt, fallen madly in love, and suffered great loss will find a common ground with this Americana/Rock/Pop Record. Earnest songs for the earnest person.Tracks like"This Is Real" will have you singing along after just one listen. The title track"Smoke & Bourbon" will make you realize that you are the master of your own destiny...."I'm not living in the past, and I'm ready to watch it burn".This will easily become your favorite record to chill and unwind to.If you mixed Jacob Dylan, Martin Sexton, Pearl Jam, John Hiatt, and Amos Lee in a music blender... Randy Paul would be your result. Take a listen and see why he is gaining so many loyal fans... Peace & Love
