Days will come
Paul Butler's first solo album, "Days will come" was released in February 2013. The album was two years in the making - the recording process completely overshadowed as his youngest son, Caspar-James, fought a losing battle with cancer. That fight ended in January, 2012. The album is a labour of love dedicated to Caspar-James. "Days will come" is about the love that lives and ulimately defeats the pain of death.
Reviews
“After 27 years away, Paul astounds as a solo artist. Gorgeous, varied, emotional song-writing, with catchy choruses, is showcased by a caramel voice, superb guitar, and gleaming production. Each musician, including the Useful Horns, adds a special element and the overall effect is captivating.” Blues in Britain
“There is a great mix of genres on the album, ranging from folk, to jazz, to blues, and even country, but the music is of very high quality throughout… this guy is a really good singer/songwriter.” Firebrand Magazine
“Although, one might say that there is an air of loss and melancholy within the fifteen original numbers but, there is also a flourishing thread of optimism coupled with a celebration of life past, present and of life yet to come… I found the music to be sincere, loving and thoroughly uplifting.” Blues Matters
“When choosing a genre to describe "Days will come" it's unfortunate that "Music for people who just love music" isn't in the drop-down menu. Skillful, honesty and integrity, not only describes the incredible songwriting ability, but also every musical note of this emotional journey..” The Scaussie Music Show
