Paul Brady |
Born
in Northern Ireland, Paul Brady has been
a part of the music scene for almost
four decades. His early musical influences
derived from traditional Irish music
from the mid-60’s. Paul’s
recording career began with a group called
The Johnstons, until the early 70’s,
when he became a member of the Irish
folk band, Planxty. Eventually, Paul
began a solo career, and throughout the
80’s and early 90’s, he released
5 critically acclaimed albums. Paul’s
current CD, Say What You Feel, released
February 2005, is his 1st studio album
in 4 years. Bonnie Raitt makes a vocal
appearance on this album with the song, “Doin
It In The Dark”. Raitt has been
quoted, claiming, “Paul Brady is
certainly one of the most underrated
of our brilliant singer/songwriters and
his melodic sense is the best of anyone
I’ve heard. For me, where he’s
coming from – his music, lyrics,
and soul – are on a level of the
greatest songwriters.” Other admirer’s
of Paul include Bono, and Bob Dylan,
who stated “Some guys got it down,
Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, and Paul Brady,
my secret heroes. For more information,
