Review by Tom Perry

This is musical wallpaper, and the colour of that wallpaper is taupe, and the texture is woodchip. »

doug paisley is canadian (toronto, to be exact) but so was neil young and four-fifths of the band, and that didn't stop them from tapping into the collective psyche of the continent. it would be bold to say this debut is on the level of the aforementioned, but truthfully it does recall an era of songwriting that was more simple, more honest, more modest. a time before ipods and myspace, when making a good album was simply enough. doug paisley has been seen on tour with bonnie 'prince' billy under the pseudonym dark hand and lamplight, a collaboration between himself and artist shary boyle. on no quarter records.
