"Paddy Casey is a phenomenon, a former busker whose slow-burn breakthrough album, Living, became one of the all-time biggest hits in Irish music history." - Adrienne Murphy, Hot Press After the massive success of Paddy's last album, Living, which went eleven times platinum in Ireland with sales in excess of 175,000 (it would easily have been Ireland's biggest selling album in 2005 but for a band called U2 releasing an album the same year), Paddy knew he wanted to break fresh ground on his third album. He was thinking Sly and the Family Stone meet Simon Garfunkel. He was thinking many things. In a boxroom in his Naas home, he came up with the blueprint for songs that would have blues licks, funky wah-wah guitars and Stax-style trumpets. Songs that would sit easily aside the more poignant songs full of personal meaning he already had. |
