…quite frankly this album stands high among some of the greatest singer/songwriter albums ever - warts, scars and f…… great songs… Live, he sits centre-stage and recounts the tales of his life on the back streets of Leeds, his touring years through to his crippling road accident in Brighton which still leaves him limping around with a stick like Dr House. In the 80s he was the guitarist & founding member of the successful Rock/Goth band, The Rose of Avalanche. Eventually enough was enough and he broke up the band in the 90s and embarked on a solo career under his own name.  3 solo albums later, which saw him support giants of the songwriting scene such as Frank Black, Vic Chestnutt, Kevin Coyne, Howe Gelb, Townes Van Zandt, he finally has a new album out. His new album touches on a cathartic necessity to get through the nightmare of his road accident to the celebration of life itself. Mainly one instrument and voice, the album gives a raw insight to the human soul and reveals a personal account of the last few years. www.pauljamesberry.com
