PAUL MARK
DECEMBER AT THE P. O.
CD SINGLE
RADIATION RECORDS RDTN 5980
Paul Mark is one of the most eclectic and avant-garde artists on the contemporary scene. He’s always good for unusual and thought-provoking material, , and this holiday season finds him spending “December At The P. O.” on his latest single for Radiation Records, from the forthcoming album, “Silent Movies.” This song is set over a piano-and-strings holiday-themed arrangement, and traces the angst of our hero as he is “an all-night sorter down at the P. O.!” Simultaneously bittersweet, honest, and humorous, he finds himself on yet another “18-hour Sunday,” with “a trick knee that blew out on a Black Friday lift,” looking forward only to “drinking in the New Year once this blizzard’s through.”
A perfect fit for this tumultuous holiday season, we anxiously await what’s to come, but for now we’ll settle for “December At The P. O.” Until next time…Sheryl and Don Crow, The Nashville Blues Society.
