You may see that Michael Paul has a article in Southern Fried as “The Michael Paul Band.” You're not seeing double. Michael also has a solo singing career and I had the opportunity to see him perform live at his CD Release Party. I have also seen him perform with the band. But this is about his solo career.
The CD release party was held at “The Rusty Porthole” in Bethal Island. Michael was already on stage playing and singing when we arrived. I must say his ability as a solo act is incredible. With each song he sang he would open by telling the audience who wrote the song and the situation that brought the song to life. Which by the way, his wife Tammy wrote a lot of. Very nice Tammy!!! The audience definitely loved him and his music.
I have had the chance to listen to the CD and I love it. The title of the CD is “It’s Cowboy Time.” And that it is. Down to earth songs with a meaning. I want to talk about three songs specifically.
1) "I Are An Angel”.... This song was written by Michael’s wife Tammy. She is a nurse and was taking care of a 4 year old that was dying. Tear jerker? YES.....this song is Tammy’s way of remembering a little girl that was so brave to the very end.
2) “Rocket Planes and Baseball” Michael wrote this when his first child was born. He sings about the things they will be doing such as, pillow fights, camp fire nights and seeing monkeys at the zoo. Hoping their good times never end. And how being a Dad ain’t half bad. It goes on to say how his little brother was born and it was twice the hugs and twice the fun. Very proud to be a father.
3) Then there is “It’s Harley Time”, which is the same as “It’s Country Time” but switched the Country to Harley. This was written for Tammy’s father who loves to ride. He sings about enjoying the open spaces, leathers and boots. He has a bike to ride and it’s Harley Time.
This CD is a must have for your collection. I love mine and listening to it while typing away on the computer or just relaxing, kicking back. Please check out the links below for information on Michael Paul and how you can get your CD and Shirt.
