Comment: Paul Thorn is amazing, he tells great stories with his songs. I recently had the pleasure of hearing him live and now I already own three of his CD's.
You must hear his work! He is a must for any collection, no matter what type of music you listen to.

Summary: When life hits you like a truck... listen to Paul Thorn!
Comment: I first heard Paul a year ago and was hooked. This one is by far my favorite album, but all his music is awesome! Can't ever get tired of hearing him. His kinda bluesy rock sound is uplifting to me. Definately motivating on a gloomy day. I subject all my co-workers to a daily dose. LOL! I recently saw him live. Had played his cd's all day before I went to the show. Man it just made it better! He and his crew are a great performers all the way around (on the cd and on the stage.)

Summary: Mission Temple Fireworks Stand - Paul Thorn
Comment: Paul suffers from that rare problem of being very talented but can't be pigeoned holed in a genre like the record companies like to do. I saw him live and was an instant convert!
"Rise Up", is a great song about nmotivating yourself in a time of trouble
"Ain't Living in Sin No More", is a prime example of how people view a relationship
The Title track is a page out of "quirky" America
If you like this you are going to love his latest albumn "Are You With Me?"

Summary: Witty And Nuanced, Yet Poignant
Comment: "Mission Temple Fireworks Stand" is one of Paul Thorn's masterpieces. From the quirky artwork (by Thorn himself) to the oddball mix of country, blues, rock, and comedy intrinsic in the music itself, this CD is hard to beat.
I have always liked Thorn, and especially his peculiar offbeat funny songs full of comic hostility ("Burn Down The Trailer Park" is the best example). This CD not only gives the listener some more conventional pop-like songs, but several original alternative comedy songs full of both broadside humor and subtle nuance, the best example being the title track. This CD has really earned its five stars, and I highly recommend it.
