Summary: Hot damn, I like this album a lot!
Comment: I haven't found any new music in years to move me like Long Way From Tupelo has. Paul Thorn serves up a slice of life that is both lyrical and believeable. It's hard to label his rock, blues, gospel, delta style of music in words other than HOT DAMN! I gar-on-tee you'll like it too.

Summary: Real Music
Comment: I had never heard of Paul Thorn until I recently caught a radio interview he did with Bob Edwards. I was quite taken with his life story and the music clips. I immediatly ordered "A Long Way From Tupelo", his new album. The guy can sing and write. I have really enjoyed every song and I love that his music is both fun and thoughtful. Check it out, he is worth it.

Summary: Paul Thorn should be much more famous
Comment: A Long Way from Tupelo is a great addition to Paul Thorn's body of work. He is reflective and roudy and demonstrates himself to be the thinking man's alternative country artist. If you only buy one CD this year, buy this one.

Summary: Description of a "Southern Springsteen" Is Not Off the Mark
Comment: and those are sacred words for people like me who worship at the church of Bruce. But on to Paul, this guy just keeps getting better. His lyrics are more sharply honed, the compositions are more complicated, and his sense of character is that of a great short story writer. This might be what it would sound like if Flannery O'Connor sang.
