MP3 Paul Meredith - Shadows of Belgrade
16 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Political, COUNTRY: Modern Country
Details:
Paul Meredith is a unique folk singer songwriter. He has worked on behalf of the U.N. and various NGOs with refugees and other victims of war and disaster from every continent -- all the while chronicling emotions and events through songwriting, recording and performing. Paul was one of the few Americans allowed into Serbia in the months after the NATO air strikes in 1999; his time in the Balkans working with victims of conflict from all backgrounds provided plenty of opportunities to reflect on peace; "Shadows of Belgrade" is the musical result. The songs mirror the sense of loneliness, isolation and the damaged dreams of the former Yugoslavia, set against a constant, optimistic searching for and expectation of eventual peace.
"Without a doubt his finest work to date, this 16 track album is a sublime mix of humour and social observation contemporary songs (protest songs they are not) delivered with fine guitar, clear vocals, and underpinned by a smooth production technique. From the lyrical beauty of the title track, to the the evocative "Where My Country Lies," this collection is a delight. If you care about good music then support this talented man''s work and buy this CD." -- Geoff Green, Managing Director, Springboard Media, and former Chair of the Hong Kong Folk Society.
Paul Meredith began playing guitar as a boy; growing up in rural Michigan provided a background rich in American folk traditions. His passion for peace and justice issues often serves as a backdrop for his songs, which have played on radio in Hong Kong, America and Europe. Paul Meredith is strongly attracted to music''s power to enhance communication and understanding - reflecting the enduring legacy of the vision of folk and rock music''s "golden age." His other releases are Spiritual Springtime (1996), Waiting for a Chinese Sun... to Shine (1999), and In Your Travels (2004). He lives in Shanghai, China.
