And there's that Sub Pop single in gleaming black vinyl.
Alright then. Here's what some other people have to say:
"One of America's best -- and most underrated -- songwriters."
--PopMatters
"A voice to turn good girls bad...Maybe crazy but damn exciting."
--The Village Voice
“The bastard child of Sinatra and Lemmy. Epic, minimalist rock tunes with that end of the night feel.”
--Random Magazine UK
“The deliciously gravelly voice and Weillian pomp of tracks like “Yr Polish Uncle” might put The Bad Seeds out of business. It’s not often that adjectives like “clever.” “dark,” and “heartwrenching” should be bandied about in the same sentence, but Reid Paley Trio’s a special case. They’re a special NY band.”
--The Sentimentalist
“Possessed with the voice of a drunken wolf…Songs that roar."
--Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
“Paley’s visionary take on modern music brings something quite exciting to the table; syncopated rock with simplicity of feel - dark humor, cutting remarks, witty poetic ramblings - all feeling like a breath of fresh air. Wondrously intriguing, compelling as hell, and refreshingly original.”
--Toxic Pete UK
"A proudly weird talent with a nervy raw appeal."
--Time Out New York
“Blues and jazz trip around his nocturnal growl in this accomplished collection. There’s no holding back the ferocious swing of Take What You Want, and the brooding Better Days manages to rouse the soul even when Paley is staring destruction in the face. A gem worth uncovering.”
--The Big Issue UK
"Straightforward, sarcastic, funny and gifted at putting a song together."
--New York Press
“As soon as Reid Paley sings you realise there’s something else in the mix. A jazz-blues-rockabilly sound so distinctive that it takes a while for your listening organs to balance the gruff, hoarse voice with the excellent playing. A dark wit that will have you spitting your dinner over the stereo in mirth.”
--SoundsXP UK
"Put simply, the Reid Paley Trio knows how to get down. He's got mischief in his eye, Elvis in his joints, and booze everywhere else."
--NYRock
"Best Actual Gig of the Year. Very very impressive."
--Sleazegrinder UK
"Reduce-you-to-tears razor wit...Reid Paley ought to be a household name."
--Pittsburgh City Paper
"Everyone has a favorite drinking album. Right now, mine is REVIVAL."
--Seattle Weekly
"Best 50 Albums of the Year"
--Alternative Press
"For fans of churlish honesty and unaffected one-man shows, REVIVAL is a nonstop riot."
--San Francisco Weekly
"More messy jazz from a drunken genius."
--City Life, Manchester UK
"A soot-black sense of humor as biting as an underfed Rottweiler."
--Cleveland Free Times
"Best Of Manhattan"
--New York Press
"An unholy howl of a voice."
--CMJ
"One of the East Coast's best-kept secrets, his wryly misanthropic schtick is all his own. Live, he is the Bill Hicks of the blues. You need to see him."
--What's On In London
Four Stars
--GermanRollingStone
"As Baudelaire was the spleen of Paris, Reid Paley is the spleen of New York... How else could he write such messianic blues, such prophetic rock 'n' roll?"
--442éme Rue, Paris
"Though records like Revival drip with talent, sweat and humor, live is the way to experience Paley."
--The Village Voice
"Actually, it's more than one date with this vampiric Brooklyn songwriter - it's four. And lucky us. Paley lives on the darker side of Saturday night, his witty ballads backed by a Czechoslovakian upright bass, a trap kit, and a voice that sounds like a bag of gravel in a blender. Just remember - his drawl is worse than his bite."
--City Life, Manchester UK
"A great musical attraction...a sort of Sinatra for the disaffected."
--Mississippi Reflector
"Reid Paley is the kind of artist Seattle loves."
--The Stranger
"Paley's bare-boned and bloody-knuckled approach grabs you like a shot of tequila that's gone down the wrong pipe."
--Aquarian Weekly
"A jarring reminder of what rock'n'roll once was and could be again."
--The Washington Times
"For all his simplicity, Reid is like nobody else."
--Seattle Weekly
"What? You want some kind of description of the artist and his music? Just fucking listen to the guy and enjoy his prowess."
-- Frank Black
