Post Description

Paul Kelly's new studio release, Spring And Fall, is an album of love songs that manages to stay clear of cheesy or sappy sentiment. And I think that's due to the great honesty of the album. I think cheesiness results from a line or a feeling being forced and false - like when someone says what he thinks he should be feeling rather than what he feels. Paul Kelly completely avoids that trap. I mean, hell, just listen to "Someone New." That song surprised me with its opening lines: "I want to sleep with someone new/Someone I've never met/Knowing it's a foolish thing to do" (though of course it is the presence of cello and violin that really makes me love it).  These aren't all feel-good love tunes. These songs investigate and explore different aspects of love and relationships. (For example, listen to "None Of Your Business Now.")
And let me just say this here and get it out of the way: Yes, there are moments that remind me of Bob Dylan (particularly in "For The Ages" and "Little Aches And Pains").  And that is certainly not a bad thing. This album is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the year.
