Perpetual Obscurity Records artist: Paul Thorn - What The Hell Is Going On - New Release Review

Been listening to the new release by Paul Thorn, What The Hell Is Going On and it's pretty cool. It opens with Lindsey Buckingham's Don't Let Me Down Again. Snake Farm, a Ray Wylie Hubbard track really conjures up the swamp with cool grinding guitar, driving beat and slide work. Buddy and Julie Millers Shelter Me Lord has great gospel backing vocals and interesting slide guitar riffs. The recordings best track, Elvin Bishop's What The Hell Is Going On? is a blues driver and Elvin himself shows up to play some slide! Wild Bill & Martha Jo Emerson's Bull Mountain Bridge takes mid America by the horns featuring Delbert McClinton and sounding a bit alt country...certainly destined for airplay with the hook and guitar. Big Al Anderson,Shawn Camp and Pat McLaughlin's Jukin' is a cool track with a boogie beat that will get you dancin. Donnie Fritts and Billy Lawson's She's Got A Crush On Me is a great tune in ballad form and will likely get airplay. It not only has the hook...it's also a great song. The recording closes out with Eli “Paperboy” Reed's Take My Love With You. Thorn uses his gospel background and his love for soul music to put this track right on spot. This is a cool cd and one that will likely find a broad audience.
