Notes
A LITTLE BIT OF BIO: Paul Fairall is a native of Leicester, England. He studied under noted guitar player, JOE PASS. He performed with various members of FAMILY, including ROGER CHAPMAN, CHARLIE WHITNEY and ROB TOWNSEND. In 1977 he joined a Rock and Roll Revival band signed to SPLASH RECORDS owned by CHAS CHANDLER. He formed the band Cameo Rôle - a new wave pop band featuring players like ex-Blind Faith bass player RICK GRECH. They did numerous support gigs for artists such as BOY GEORGE and TENPOLE TUDOR. In that same period he recorded a self-released album with Mr. Grech and Cameo Rôle. In 1987 he met up with bass player IAN PORTER (now a recognized writer for television and media music) and joined the critically acclaimed new wave band FISHER Z for their 1987 record release. Whilst on tour, he met his future wife and songwriting partner, an American artist in Paris. He emigrated to America in 1989. MARK CHRISTENSEN, lead singer of THIRST and Paul produced and cowrote songs for their debut album, featuring ANDY NEWMARK on drums. In 1996 he and his wife, Linda Danz, embarked on a songwriting partnership forming the publishing company Fairall Danz Music, Inc. 'Trying' is their first album of original songs, played and sung by Paul Fairall. The album was recorded at 331/3 Recording in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September, 2000. MIKE KLEIN, who engineered the Sony/Columbia release of singer JAMES MADDOCK, 'Songs From Stamford Hill', engineered and co-produced the current album from Paul Fairall called 'TRYING'. The album was mastered by ANDY VANDETTE at Masterdisk in New York City. REVIEWS FROM FANS: The tone of Paul Fairall's debut 'Trying' brings to mind a small intimate gig, the listener is bouyed up with some whisky or vodka, malt liqour, or whatever is the chosen poison, very relaxed, but lucid enough to catch the sharp lyrical observations that are being strummed your way via Fairall's vocals. 'Trying' is intimate, while retaining a deliciously mysterious air; the sort of album a listener cherishes in order to imagine the characters being sung about and the nature of human relations being sung. The keening quality of the opening mandolin in 'Linda's song' adds to the sweet and assured melancholy of the lyrics 'In a way we hold each other up in a way you'll never see'-a love song exclusive to the the relationship of it's subjects. From a little antipodean point of view this album encapsulates all that is good about English and American music traits that are evident in this album of insightful sarcasm and rough-edged warmth. - Norah Murray, Sydney Australia I put on 'Trying' when I'm feeling introspective and want substance--poetic lyrics combined with music that's melodious yet still rockin'. It takes me to other places, and I like that.You know what it reminds me of? The way I feel after reading 'Wuthering Heights,' one of my favorite novels. I get a sense of the Old World. I see fog, and bogs, and women walking around in long, satiny gowns. Romance. It's like Paul's the story-teller, a bard, wandering around spreading the tales of eons and eons of humanity. And, of course, the cover tells it all. - J.S. NYC 'Fairall's music has all the hallmarks of the troubadour singer/songwriter. Having paid his dues in the bars and halls, with a voice sweet and seasoned, he tells stories of ordinary people. Co-written with Linda Danz these are songs of indolence and experience, a sort of passive resistance. They are never mawkish or condescending but describe the inner life of their characters whether that be of the singer himself or of people he admires such as Virginia Woolf in the first track. The stones in her pockets refrain joins with the river of Styx analogy to lead us into the underworld that was both Woolf's source of inspiration and final undoing. This menopausal mire is described by Fairall with great delicacy. He also has the wit and a light enough touch not to turn this into a dirge. In the simply named Linda's
