The silver fox has pulled another musical gem from the hen-house of inspiration; Paul Reece has done it again. Enjoyment is the order of the day from the opening cut through thirteen melodious and heartfelt slices of cream covered tune pie. Paul has assembled a array of musical guests that rival anything heard on any major label. The banjo and fiddle on IT ONLY PLAYS THE BLUES, will color your world the endless possibilities of life itself. The general optimism of I'M HAPPY CAUSE I SING (check out how the diatonic harmonica on the live version explodes into a manic expression of free jazz) lifts the listener to a brilliant place above the troubles of this world. PICTURE IN THE HALLWAY invokes the inevitable comparisons to Willie Nelson, and is awash in sentiment for a departed family member. The uncredited supporting musicians weaving melifluosly throughout forty-eight miutes of catchy songs make this album more than the typical guitar-singer- songriter fare. UNCLE CARL, a happy little ditty about lung cancer is maudlin and magical. Move over C&W, North-Central Ohio is fast becoming the new "Nashville".
